词源
sergeant (n.)c. 1200 (late 12c. as a surname), sergeaunt, also sergiaunte, serjainte, sergunt, cerjaunt, etc., “a servant, servingman,” especially “an officer in a lord’s retinue,” from Old French sergent, serjant “(domestic) servant, valet; court official; soldier,” from Medieval Latin servientum (nominative serviens) “servant, vassal, soldier” (in Late Latin “public official”), from Latin servire “to serve” (see serve (v.)).
The Latin word also is the source of Spanish sirviente, Italian servente. Sergeant is thus essentially a doublet of servant, and 16c. writers in English sometimes use the two words interchangeably.
By c. 1300 in a feudal sense of “tenant by military service under the rank of knight;” the modern military meaning “non-commissioned military officer” is recorded by 1540s. Originally a much more important position than after. As a police rank, in Great Britain from 1839.
The sense of “officer whose duty is to enforce judgments of a tribunal or legislative body” is from c. 1300 (hence sergeant at arms, attested from late 14c.).
The Middle English alternative spelling serjeant (from Old French) was retained in Britain in special use as the title of a superior order of barristers from which Common Law judges were chosen (mid-14c.); in this use it is from the legal Latin phrase serviens ad legem, “one who serves (the king) in matters of law”). It was also used of certain other officers of the royal household.
Fem. form sergeantess is attested from mid-15c. Sergeant-major is attested from 1570s. The sergeant-fish (1871) so-called for lateral markings resembling a sergeant’s stripes. Related: Sergeancy.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
中士 (n.)c. 1200(12世纪末作为姓氏),sergeaunt,也有 sergiaunte、serjainte、sergunt、cerjaunt 等,“仆人、仆人”,特别是“领主随从中的军官”,源自古法语 sergent,serjant “(国内)仆人,近侍;士兵,”源自中世纪拉丁语 servientum(主格 serviens)“仆人、封臣、士兵”(后期拉丁语“公职人员”),源自拉丁语 servire“服务”(参见serve (v.)) )。拉丁语单词也是西班牙语 Sirviente、意大利语servente 的来源。因此,中士本质上是仆人的双重身份,16c。英语作家有时会互换使用这两个词。由c。 1300 封建意义上的“骑士级别下服兵役的佃户”;现代军事意义“士官”的记载是在1540年代。原本的地位比之后重要得多。作为警察级别,自 1839 年起在英国设立。“职责是执行法庭或立法机构判决的官员”的含义来自大约1300(因此为武装中士,从 14 世纪末开始得到证实)。中古英语的替代拼写“serjeant”(来自古法语)在英国保留下来,专门用作高级律师的头衔,普通法法官从中选出(14世纪中叶);在这种用法中,它来自法律拉丁语短语 serviens ad lawgem,“在法律事务上为(国王)服务的人”)。它也被用于王室的某些其他官员。女性。女士官资格从 15 世纪中期开始获得认证。军士长的认证是从 1570 年代开始的。军士鱼 (1871) 所谓的侧面标记类似于军士条纹。相关:军士。相关条目及更多
