Weil Group of A Finite Field
For finite fields the Weil group is infinite cyclic. A distinguished generator is provided by the Frobenius automorphism. Certain conventions on terminology, such as arithmetic Frobenius, trace back to the fixing here of a generator (as the Frobenius or its inverse).

Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
