Etymology

The term 'cadre' originates from the French word 'cadre,' which means 'frame' or 'framework.' It was borrowed into English in the early 20th century, initially used in military contexts to refer to a core group of trained personnel essential for forming a larger unit. Over time, its usage expanded into political and organizational scenarios, where it describes a small, trained group that can effectively mobilize or lead others. The word's etymology traces back to the Latin 'quadrus,' meaning 'square' or 'frame,' emphasizing the structured nature of such groups.
