Question

infantry n.步兵；步兵部队 (1) 我们的步兵比敌军少。(2) 步兵是军队中的一个重要的组成部分。(3) 步兵防守甚佳。(4) 步兵部队装备了新武器。 It seems somewhat strange to have the word "infant" in a word that refers to a fighting military unit, but the word infantry once referred to the foot soldiers who were too young or too inexperienced to qualify for the cavalry. The word was taken from the Latin word for a youth, infantem, and so evolved into infantry after working its way through the Spanish, Italian, and French, appearing in English in the late 16th Century.
