From Middle High German arche, byform of more common arke, from Old High German arka, archa, from Proto-Germanic *arkō, from Latin arca. The expected German form is Arke. The ch-form is native in parts of Upper German. It was reinforced in the modern standard language by the Medieval Latin spelling archa.
