Forms: late Middle English legyonarius (see note), late Middle English–1500s legyonary, late Middle English– legionary, 1500s–1600s legionarie.

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

Etymology: < classical Latin legiōnārius (adjective) of or belonging to a legion, (noun) soldier who is a member of a legion < legiōn- , legiō legion n. + -ārius -ary suffix¹. Compare Old French, Middle French legionaire, Middle French legionnaire, French légionnaire, †légionaire (adjective) of or belonging to a legion (early 13th cent.), (noun) soldier who is a member of a legion (1290 with reference to the Roman legion, 1534 with reference to a large unit of the French army), Spanish legionario (first half of the 13th cent. as noun, late 14th cent. as adjective), Italian legionario (13th cent. as adjective, a1580 as noun).In sense B. 2 after French légionnaire (1802 in this sense). The form legyonarius (in quot. a1450) probably shows an English plural with -us (this form of the ending also occurs elsewhere in the same text). It could alternatively be interpreted as an instance of the Latin adjective in an English context, but this seems less likely, as the form is used to translate a Latin plural.

A. adj.

a. Of or belonging to a legion.
