Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish: sargente

In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish sargente, from Middle French sergent, from Old French sergeant, sergent, serjant, sergient, sergant (“sergeant, servant”), from Medieval Latin servientem (“servant, vassal, soldier, apparitor”), from Latin serviēns (“serving”), present participle of serviō (“to serve or to be a slave to”), from servus (“a slave, a serf or a servant”), perhaps from Etruscan; compare Etruscan proper names 𐌔𐌄𐌓𐌅𐌉 (servi) or 𐌔𐌄𐌓𐌅𐌄 (serve); or from Proto-Italic *serwo, from Proto-Indo-European *serwoh₂. Doublet of sirviente.
