The answer
CADET
What cadet means
A young person who is training to become a military officer or who attends a military school or academy for basic instruction and discipline.
Where the word comes from
From French *cadet*, a younger son or junior member of a noble family. The French word likely derives from Gascon *capdet*, meaning "little chief" or "captain," from Latin *capitellum*, the diminutive of *caput* (head). The term eventually came to mean a young man training for military service, particularly in the French Army, and entered English in the 17th century with that military sense.
