one-armed
Missing a limb
One-armed describes having only one arm, whether from birth, amputation, or injury: a one-armed veteran.
The term appears in the classic joke setup about the one-armed paperhanger—someone comically overwhelmed by a task requiring two hands.
A one-armed bandit is a slot machine, from the single lever pulled to play.
