The armed forces of a country — soldiers, navy, air force — and everything that belongs to that world: its discipline, its order, its exact way of doing things.
From the word’s history
From Latin 'militaris', from 'miles' (soldier) — pertaining to soldiers.
源自拉丁文 militaris，來自 miles（士兵），意思是『跟士兵有關的』。這條根直接對上核心畫面：一切從『士兵／軍隊』這個世界長出來。
