14世纪晚期(公元1200年作为姓氏),“骑马的骑士,贵族出身的武装骑手”,源自盎格鲁-法语 chivaler “骑马的骑士”,古法语 chevalier “骑士,骑手,国际象棋中的骑士”(12世纪,现代法语 chevaler),源自晚期拉丁语 caballarius “骑手”(普罗旺斯语 cavallier,西班牙语 caballero,葡萄牙语 cavalleiro,意大利语 cavaliere 的来源; 参见 cavalier(n.))。这个词在中古英语中被本土化(“chevaleer”),但自16世纪以来已被赋予法语发音。
borrowed from French, "knight, young nobleman who has devoted himself to a lady, member of an order conferring knighthood or another honor," going back to Old French chevaler, chevalier "mounted soldier, knight," going back to Late Latin caballārius "horseback rider, groom" (early Medieval Latin also "serf performing duties on horseback, mounted soldier") — more at cavalier >entry 2 Note: Old French and Anglo-French chevaler was borrowed into Middle English as chevaler, chivaler, but this word appears to have become obsolescent by the seventeenth century, and the current word represents a reborrowing from Modern French.
