Etymology of PIONEER
The word pioneer originates from the Middle French word pionnier, which means foot soldier, infantryman. In the 16th century, it was borrowed into English from French and initially referred to a military context. Later, during the 17th century, its meaning expanded to include someone who leads the way in exploring or settling new areas. The word ultimately traces back to the Old French word peon, meaning foot soldier, which has its roots in the Late Latin word pedo, meaning foot soldier or boy.
