MODERATORS
The word infantry actually shares the same origin as the word infant.
The both come from the latin "infans" (in -> not, fans -> to speak) so it means "unable to speak".
Infants are children too young to speak and infantry are soliders that aren't supposed to talk back.
Didn't expect to learn something so interesting with this post. Thanks!
Thanks for delivering the precise answer I was hoping to find.
