Etimologia (Inglese)

Affine tedesco: Leibgarde

Affine danese: livgarde

Affine svedese: livgarde

Affine inglese antico: līfweard

In summary

From life + guard, calque of Dutch lijfgarde, where life has the sense of Dutch lijf (“body”) (hence literally “bodyguard”). Compare German Leibgarde (“bodyguard”), Danish livgarde (“bodyguard”), Swedish livgarde (“bodyguard”). Compare also Old English līfweard (“guardian of life”).
