The Swordsman. Swordsmanship refers to the skills of a swordsman, a person versed in the art of the sword. The term is modern, and as such was mainly used to refer to
smallsword fencing, but by extension it can also be applied to any
martial art involving the use of a sword. The formation of the English word "swordsman" is parallel to the Latin word
gladiator, a term for the professional fighters who fought against each other and a variety of other foes for the entertainment of spectators in the Roman Empire. The word gladiator itself comes from the Latin word
gladius, meaning "sword".
