Etymology of JANIZAR

The word "Janissary" or "Janizar" (also spelled Janizary) has its etymology rooted in the Ottoman Empire. It derives from the Ottoman Turkish word "yeniçeri", which translates to "new troop" or "new soldier".

The janissaries were an elite infantry corps established in the 14th century by the Ottoman Sultan Murad I. They were primarily composed of non-Muslim captives, particularly young boys from Christian families, who were recruited through the devşirme system. These boys were then converted to Islam and underwent rigorous military training to become loyal servants of the Sultan.

The term "Janissary" gained prominence as the name for these soldiers in European languages, becoming anglicized to "Janizary" or "Janissary".
