說文解字 - Shuowen: 《木部》械桎梏也。从木戒聲。一曰器之緫名。一曰持也。一曰有盛為械，無盛為器。

康熙字典文字版 【辰集中】【木字部】械
【唐韻】【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】𠀤胡介切，音邂。【說文】四解：一曰桎梏也。【孔穎達曰】械者，戒也。戒止人不得遊行也。一曰器之總名。《禮·王制》器械異制。註：謂禮樂之器及兵甲也。一曰持也。一曰有盛爲械，無盛爲器。【周禮·司書】三歲大計羣吏之治，以知民器械之數。【疏】器，禮樂之器。械，謂弓矢戈殳矛戟也。　又術之巧者曰械。【孟子】爲機械變詐之巧者，無所用恥焉。
考證：〔【周禮·天官】三歲大計羣吏之治，以知民器械之數。【註】器，禮樂之器。械謂弓矢戈殳矛戟也。〕　謹照原文天官改司書。註改疏。
