Etymology
1. Inherited from Middle English soudeour, from Old French soudier or soudeour (“mercenary”), from Medieval Latin soldarius (“soldier (one having pay)”), from Late Latin solidus, a type of coin. Displaced Old English cempa (whence obsolete kemp).
2. (red herring): An allusion to soldiers' red uniforms; red herring is, reciprocally, a slang term for "soldier".
