14世纪末,“代替他人的人”,来自古法语 lieu tenant “代替,代表”,字面意思是“占位符”(14世纪),来自 lieu “地方”(见 lieu)和 tenir 的现在分词 tenant “持有”,来自 PIE 词根 *ten- “伸展”。概念是“高级权威的代替品”。
特定的军事意义上,“军官在上尉之下,代表他指挥连队”的意思来自1570年代。在英国,发音为 lef- 很常见,反映这一点的拼写可以追溯到14世纪,但其起源是个谜(OED 拒绝了它来自 -u- 和 -v- 的旧混淆的建议)。
Middle English, from Anglo-French lieu tenant, from liu + tenant holding, from tenir to hold, from Latin tenēre — more at thin
