n.（名詞）
<注釋>Hard-riding marshals of the Wild West in pursuit of criminalsreemphasize the relationship of the wordmarshal with horses. The Germanic ancestor of our wordmarshal is a compound made up of .marhaz, .horse. (related to the source of our word mare ), and .skalkaz, .servant,. meaning as a whole literally .horse servant,.hence .groom..The Frankish descendant of this Germanic word,.marahskalk, starting from these humble beginnings, came to designate a high royal official and also a high military commander, not surprisingly so, given the importance of the horse in medieval warfare.The word passed into the period (beginning in 800) in which we speak of Old French, after the Franks and their Germanic language had been fused with the surrounding culture descended from Roman Gaul.When the Normans established a French-speaking official class in England,the Old French word came with them.The Middle English source of our word is first recorded as a surname in 28 (and the surname Marshal, now spelled Marshall, has been held by some famous people),but it is first recorded as a common noun with the sense .high officer of the royal court. in the first English language proclamation (258) by an English king, Henry III, after the Norman Conquest.Marshal was applied to this high royal official`s deputies, who were officers of courts of law,and the word continued to designate various officials involved with courts of law and law enforcement,including the horseback-riding marshals we are familiar with in the United States.
西部荒野騎著馬對罪犯緊追不舍的警長形象，再次強調了marshal 這個詞與馬之間的聯(lián)系。 我們這個單詞marshal 的日耳曼語原形是一個由 marhaz .馬.（與 mare 的語源相關）和 skalkaz .仆人，傭人.組成的合成詞， 字面意思是.馬的仆人.，也就是后來的.馬夫.。這個日耳曼詞的法蘭克語的演變marahskalk 從最初卑微的含義演變到特指高級王室官員及高級軍事將領， 不僅如此，在中世紀的戰(zhàn)場上馬也被提升到了重要地位。在法蘭克人和他們所說的日耳曼語一起融入周圍的羅馬高盧人文化之后，這個詞進入了我們講古法語的時代（開始于800年）。當諾曼底人在英格蘭建立了一個講法語的官員階層之后，古法語里的這個詞便隨之而來。該詞在中世紀英語中最早于28年作為一個姓氏被記錄下來（一些著名人士的姓馬歇爾，現(xiàn)在的拼寫法為Marshall)，但作為指.王室的高級官員.的普通名詞，它最早出現(xiàn)于英國王亨利三世在諾曼征服之后做的一篇英文公告(258年）。在此文中Marshal 用于指高級王室官員的代表， 也就是司法官員。該詞涉及法律和法律實施的不同官員的含義延續(xù)了下來，其中就包括我們所熟悉的美國西部騎在馬背上的警長
