Cadet (genealogy) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cadet (genealogy) In genealogy, a cadet is a younger son, as opposed to the firstborn heir. Compare puisne. == Etymology == The word is recorded in English since 1634, originally for a young son, identical to the French, which is itself derived from the Gascon Occitan (spoken in Gascony in southwest France) ''capdet'' "captain, chief", in turn from the Late Latin ''capitellum'', the diminutive of Latin ''caput'' "head" (hence also chief). Younger sons from Gascon families apparently were commonly sent to the French court to serve as officers; as a rule non-heirs from the European nobility sought careers in the military or the clergy.
