Seek & Destroy - need help understanding (arguments)

1

I’ve read the solutions to Seek & Destroy (https://forum.freecodecamp.com/t/algorithm-seek-and-destroy/16046).

In the intermediate solution, it uses this answer:

function destroyer(arr) {
  // Remove all the values
  var args = Array.from(arguments).slice(1);
  return arr.filter(function(val) {
    return !args.includes(val);
  });
}

destroyer([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], 2, 3);

Specifically, I don’t understand this line at all Array.from(arguments).slice(1);

I understand that it’s trying to make ([1,2,3,1,2,3],2,3) into an array, but why does it use (arguments) instead of (arr)?

If anyone would be so kind to explain it clearly to me! Feeling baffled !
