Etymology of terms.

[MistakeNot]

Paladin - origins from Mount Palatin in Rome and the housing of the roman emperor. Paladin were the royal guard of the palace on Mount Palatin and also the personal guard of the roman emperor.

Not quite. While the word Paladin does ultimately derive from the Palatine Hill in Rome it does so more indirectly.
It originates from the word palatine or palatinus which was used to denote high-ranking officials in Rome due to their association with the imperial palace there.
The bodyguards of the roman emperors were called the Praetorian Guard.


Later the French word paladin was first used for describing the (semi-legendary) knights at the court of Charlemagne and has also been used for the knights of the Round Table from Arthurian mythos.
In both cases the word paladin was not really used until several centuries after the actual events - and entered English even later.
