Etymology

The word 'sergeant' originates from the Middle French term 'sergent', which means 'servant' or 'follower', derived from the Latin word 'serviens', meaning 'serving' or 'to serve'. This term initially referred to a person who was employed in a role of service. Over time, it evolved to refer specifically to a military officer, especially one who is non-commissioned. By the late Middle Ages, 'sergeant' had been associated with various roles within the military and law enforcement, solidifying its modern connotation by the 16th century. The rank of sergeant has been critical in military structures across many nations, serving as a bridge between the enlisted personnel and higher-ranking officers.
