Question

cadre n.干部；骨架；小组成员；骨干 (1) 这位青年干部非常称职。(2) 虽然他是个领导干部，却相当谦虚。 Just looking at the "re" at the end of cadre suggests the word has some French roots, and so it does. The word, stemming from the Latin quadrum, meaning "a square," also meant "framework." This idea of a frame or border came to suggest the word as meaning a small group that creates the framework for a larger one, much like a picture frame. Your cadre of rebels consists of two cats and a stuffed bear . . . at least they'll be good at keeping secrets.
