Etymology

The word 'solider' is derived from the Middle English term 'soudier' or 'soldoier', which has its roots in the Old French word 'soldier'. The French term originated from the Latin 'solidus', referring to a type of coin that was used to pay soldiers. This association with compensation for service solidified the link between the term and military personnel. The term has evolved over time, but the fundamental meaning of a person serving in the military has remained consistent. It became widely used in English during the late medieval period as armies began to form more structured and formal organizations. Today, 'solider' is commonly understood to refer to individuals who are trained and equipped to serve in various military roles, often embodying the ideals of duty, honor, and sacrifice.
