SOMETHING CONCERNING
OR|GIN OF war TERMS
Some Curious Bits OF History
Woven About Arms and
Munitions.

With the exception of shrapnel,
named after its inventor, an Eng
lish Colonel, there are very few
war terms now in use which have a
British origin.
Sword, musket. grenadier, dra-
COON are all alien terms. "Grena-
dier" is generally supposed to come
from the French The word is.
however, of German birth, and orig
inally was "erenatier." the force
owing their name to the hand-gren-
AIDES with which they were armed.
The word "musket" has an ltal-
ian derivation; 'moschetto," which
was really a species of small spar
row-hawk. In ancient times and in
the middle ages the name musket
was used TO designate a small NOR
tar which threw arrows.
When gunpowder was invented II
small cannon was baptized mus
ket." and later the rifle of the ordi-
nary infantryman earned the name.
while the whole unit was called
"musketeers.'
Both "dragoon" and "cuirass-
Ter" come from the French. The
dragons had a dragon painted on
their shields. and the cuirassiers
carried a breast protection made of
copper-in French "cuivre."
"Hussar' comes from the Hun
garian word "husz." which means
twenty" The force derived its
name from the fact that long ago
every twentieth recruit in Hungary
was placed in one of the mounted
regiments.
The uhlans owe their name to the
Turks. 1t comes from the Turkish
word "ogian.' youth.
Sword comes from the the Pol
from the Italian town Pistoja, which
was famous in the middle ages fol
its arms factories.
The bayonet takes its name from
the French town Bayonne. where
the inventor lived some l25 years
ago
"HowitZer' is derived from the
Czech word ''houfnice wooden
apparatus used in ancient times fol
the purpose of throwing stones. We
meet with the word also in the Hus

where the weapon figures as "hauff

The officers rank of Major was
