ARM, it is Processor.
ARM in a single word? Now there's a challenge to which I'm sure many could rise!
"Processor" is a worthy attempt but I think it's more than that. "Architecture" would be a better term, I think, since the ARM architecture (in all its variants) drives much more than just processors these days.
I would like to think it's maybe even a bit fundamental than that. Is ARM a "philosophy"? Or am I over-stretching things here? When I think of ARM (apart from the company I am very proud to work for!) I think of things like energy-efficiency, partnership, cooperation, enablement, leadership, excellence. That sounds to me much more like a philosophy around which ARM and its partners build an ecosystem..
So come on...what do others think?!
