Guerrilla
guerrilla
- 1809, from Sp. guerrilla "body of skirmishers, skirmishing warfare," lit. "little war," dim. of guerra "war," from a Gmc. source (cf. O.H.G. werra "strife, conflict, war"). Acquired by Eng. during the Peninsular War (1808-1814), purists failed in their attempt to keep this word from taking on the sense properly belonging to guerrillero "guerrilla fighter."
