[Cicero]

[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin mīlitāns, mīlitant-, present participle of mīlitāre, to serve as a soldier; see militate.]

A militant is a soldier. Which is where the word comes from. Soldiers. Or am I still full of it?

Yes I understand things.

Not so perfectly all the time, but enough. The origin was so cleverly left out of the first definition.

Thus, the head shake.

Militant militant militant...if it is so amusing to hear me say it..... I am not going to explain the word or myself anymore.



Of course, from an emotive standpoint what I said was seriously harsh. But no disrespect was meant, at all. Okay? There.
