Forms:

α. See life n. and guard n.

β. Scottish pre-1700 loveguard, pre-1700 lovguard.

γ. Scottish pre-1700 leaffgaird.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; probably originally modelled on a lexical item in a continental Germanic language. Etymons: life n., guard n.

Etymology: < life n. + guard n., probably originally after a parallel formation in a continental Germanic language; compare Swedish livgarde (1597; compare quot. 1632 at sense 1), German Leibgarde (c1600; compare also early modern German leibgewardi (16th cent.)), Dutch lijfgarde (although this is apparently first attested later: 1677), all literally ‘bodyguard’ (compare the Germanic forms and senses cited at life n.) and all apparently ultimately after French garde du corps (see bodyguard n.).With β. forms compare variants at live v.¹

1. A bodyguard of soldiers; (in modern use in plural ) (in form Life Guards) the senior cavalry regiment of the British Army, now (with the Blues and Royals) part of the Household Cavalry.The 1st and 2nd Life Guards Regiments were formed in 1788 from the Horse Grenadier Guards and four Troops of the Kings Horse Guards. In 1922 the two regiments merged, and in 1992 joined with the Royal Horse Guards and the 1st Dragoon Guards (the Blues and Royals) to form the Household Cavalry.
