Etymology of KIGHT

The word knight originates from the Old English word cniht, which meant boy or servant. It is related to the Old High German word kneht and Old Norse word kné, which both also meant servant or boy. Over time, the meaning of cniht shifted specifically to refer to a young man who served his lord as a warrior. Eventually, it came to represent a member of a noble class who had been granted formal training in warfare and chivalry. The Middle English term knyghte appeared as a result, and it has since evolved into the modern English word knight.
