Marshal
This article is about a title. For other meanings, see
marshal (disambiguation). Marshal (also sometimes spelled marshall in
American English, but not in
British English) is a word used in several official titles of various branches of society. The word derives from
Old Germanic marh "horse" and scalc "servant", and originally meant "stable keeper". As marshals became trusted members of the courts of
Medieval Europe, the title grew in reputation. During the last few centuries, it has been used for the most elevated offices. The American English spelling of the name ("Marshall") is often confused with the spelling of the title ("Marshal"). It is approximate to the position of
Constable.
