Etymology
The term 'cashiered' originates from the military, derived from the noun 'cashier,' which comes from the French word 'caissier,' meaning 'the keeper of a money box or funds.' This reflects the historical practice of military officers who managed financial resources and were responsible for handling money. The verb form gained prominence in the 16th century, relating to the act of dismissing officers from their duty, particularly when they were deemed unworthy or inadequate in their responsibilities. Over time, 'cashiering' became synonymous with disciplinary action taken against individuals in positions of authority, reflecting a loss of rank and respect within military and civilian bureaucracies.
