1640年代(早在14世纪的盎格鲁拉丁语中),缩写自 posse comitatus “县的力量”(1620年代,晚于13世纪的盎格鲁拉丁语),源自中世纪拉丁语 posse “人员组成; 力量”,来自拉丁语 posse “有力量,有能力”(参见 potent)和 comitatus “县的”,晚期拉丁语“法院宫殿”的属格(参见 comitatus)。一般意义上的“武装力量”始于1640年代; 现代俚语意义上的“小团伙”可能源自西部电影。
Posse comitatus, the power of the county; in law, the body of men which the sheriff is empowered to call into service to aid and support him in the execution of the law, as in case of rescue, riot, forcible entry and occupation, etc. It includes all male persons above the age of fifteen. In Great Britain peers and clergymen are excluded by statute. The word comitatus is often omitted, and posse alone is used in the same sense. [Century Dictionary]
Posse comitatus,县的力量; 在法律上,警长有权召集一群人来协助和支持他执行法律,例如在救援、暴动、强行进入和占领等情况下。它包括所有15岁以上的男性。在英国,贵族和牧师被法令排除在外。单词 comitatus 经常被省略, posse 单独使用具有相同的意义。[世纪词典]
