Comdt

/kəˈmændənt/ noun

Definition

Abbreviation for commandant, the commander or senior officer in charge of a military post or institution.

Etymology

From French 'commandant,' the present participle of 'commander,' derived from Latin 'commendare.' The abbreviation 'comdt' became standard in military and institutional correspondence throughout the 20th century.

Kelly Says

Unlike 'comdr,' the 'comdt' abbreviation specifically refers to someone commanding a fixed facility like a base or academy, which is why the French ending '-ant' was preserved in English military ranks!
