Red parts of one's arms (5)

I believe the answer is:

gules

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'red' is the first definition.
(I know that gules is a type of red)

'parts of one's arms' is the second definition.
'gules' can be an answer for 'arms' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'parts of one's' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gules that I've seen before include "Heraldic red" , "heraldic colour" , "Red tincture" , "Red, in heraldry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
