The term "private" for a new soldier originates from the word "private" in the sense of being a member of the general public, as opposed to an officer or someone with a higher rank. In military hierarchy, a private is the lowest rank, indicating that the soldier has not yet attained specialized training or higher status within the military structure. The title reflects their initial status and role within the organization.

The term "private soldier" originates from the hierarchical structure of military organizations, where "private" denotes the lowest rank of enlisted personnel. The word "private" comes from the Latin "privatus," meaning "individual" or "not holding a public office," indicating a soldier who serves without special rank or status. This designation differentiates them from higher-ranking officers and specialized roles within the military. The term has been in use since at least the 17th century.
