The Ox- ford Dictionary and Forestcue's His- tory of the British Empire supply the answers. A private. was originally a private soldier, called up by his lige lord in medieval times. The word is derived from the Latin privates and was first used with its modern meaning about 1579, The next highest rank, lance-cor- poral, comes front a French form of the word lanz posato, a mounted soldier whose horse has been put out of action and fought with his lance on foot, He was considered superior to the infan- trymen and had some authority over them, but not permanently. The word corporal comes from the Italian cap- orate. Sergeant (Latin ,servientem) Old French sergeant) meant -a common soldier in 1490. It was applied to a tenant who had military service under a knight, A sergeant-major was originally a field officer eext in rank to a lieut- enant-colonel and corresponded part- ly to the modern rank of major and partly to adjutant, Another derive- ation is seen in the present: rank rot major-general. Time term did not mean a non- commissioned officer be- fore 1802, The rank of Captain has been used- in the French Army since 1855. It is a :derivative of the Italian man de squadre, or head of a square, block of squadron. The captain's locum tenens or lieutenant was instituted as a rank by Charles VII iii 1444.
