Cornetcy

/ˈkɔrnɪtsi/ noun

Definition

The rank, position, or commission of a cornet, a junior commissioned officer in a cavalry regiment.

Etymology

From 'cornet' (a cavalry officer) plus '-cy' suffix forming nouns of office or position, like 'baroncy' or 'captaincy.' Common in 17th-19th century military terminology.

Kelly Says

Cornetcy was typically a stepping stone—officers would start as cornets and work their way up the cavalry ranks, kind of like being a junior executive today!
