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

Compare earlier hastate n.The plural form hastarii reflects the Latin plural. In classical Latin apparently only as adjective; the noun use of the word in French and English may have been influenced by post-classical Latin hastātus spear-man, kind of Roman soldier (see hastate n.). In quot. 1609 translating post-classical Latin ascarii (plural), denoting a different category of soldier, apparently < ancient Greek ἀσκός bag (see ascan adj.). In his annotations Holland glosses both hastarij and hastati (which he uses elsewhere) as ‘speare-men’.
