Brit.

/ˈɑːmᵻdʒə/, U.S.

/ˈɑrmədʒər/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin armiger.

Etymology: < classical Latin armiger (adjective) bearing arms, (noun) armour-bearer, squire, in post-classical Latin also (as a title) esquire, person entitled to bear arms (from 15th cent. in British sources) < armi- , combining form of arma arms (see arms n.) + -ger (see -gerous comb. form). Compare Middle French armigere, French armigère soldier, officer (a1507), armour-bearer (1530 in an isolated attestation, subsequently from 19th cent in a Roman history context), Italian armigero soldier, officer (first half of the 14th cent.).The following earlier quotations show currency of the Latin word in British sources:1384 in T. Rymer Fœdera (1709) VII. 450 Garland Godefelawe, alias dictus Garlof Ducheman, Armiger.1407 in T. Rymer Fœdera (1709) VIII. 481 Adam Belle, Scocheman (alias dictus Armiger), Serviens ipsius Comitis.

An esquire, originally one who attended a knight to carry his shield, weapons, etc.; (later) any man of the higher order of English gentry, ranking immediately below a knight. Frequently as a title following the name of an esquire or a man of similar status. Also more loosely: a person entitled to bear heraldic arms.
