Confusion: Archer to Bard? Where is the Ranger Job?

[Onidemon]

Where do you base this incorrect assumption?

Marriam-Websters says:

Rangers are persons who range over a region to enforce law or regional rule

or

Fighters trained in close range fighting and raiding tactics.

Encyclopia Britanica says:

Ranger units originated during the French and Indian War (1756–63), when the British formed special units of expert woodsmen and marksmen to range the forests on scouting, screening, and harassing missions.

Ranger referes to one who ranges an are not one who uses range weapons.

Are you serious dude? I'm refering to rangers in FFXI or other mmos which plays exactly like archers do now.
