[French troupe, from Old French trope, probably from Vulgar Latin *troppu-.]

troops

• squadron - Borrowed from Italian squadrone, from Latin quadrare, "square"; the sense of "military group" comes from an earlier "square formation of troops."
• campaign - First meant an open tract of land, from Latin campus, "level ground," and the change to a military meaning came from troops "taking the field"—moving from fortress or town to open country—from which the political sense evolved, referring to the organized efforts of office-seekers to sway public opinion or influence their vote at an upcoming election.
• echelon - Comes from French echelle, "ladder," from Latin scala, and first meant a formation of troops.
• corporal - Its military meaning came from "the head of a body of troops," from French caporale.

troops

A collective term for uniformed military personnel (usually not applicable to naval personnel afloat). See also airborne troops; combat service support elements; combat support troops; service troops; tactical troops.
