Etymology

The word 'trooper' originates from the late Middle English term 'troup' or 'troop', which referred to a group or company of soldiers. It is derived from the Old French 'troupe', meaning a troop or band of soldiers, which itself came from the Latin 'troppus', indicating a gathering or group. The term began to specifically denote individual soldiers engaged in cavalry duty by the 17th century. Over time, 'trooper' has also been adopted in various law enforcement contexts, referring to police officers in many regions, reflecting the word's evolution in relation to military and civic service.
