Etymology of INFANTRYPERSONS

The term "infantrypersons" is not commonly used in the English language, and its etymology is not well established. However, it appears to be derived from two elements: "infantry" and "persons".

1. Infantry: This word has its origins in the Latin word "infans" meaning "youth" or "child". In medieval times, it referred to foot soldiers who fought on foot rather than on horseback.

2. Persons: This term is the plural form of "person", which comes from the Latin word "persona", originally meaning "mask" or "character" in theatre.

The combination of these two elements seems intended to create a gender-neutral term to refer to individuals who serve in the infantry, regardless of their gender. While "infantry" traditionally applied to a group of male soldiers, the addition of "-persons" seeks to include all genders.
