marshal; Marshall Plan. The German marahscalc, meaning “servant in charge of the mares,” became maréchal in French and marshal in English, having been adopted by the French as the title for a high-ranking general of armies when cavalry be- came important in warfare as early as the fifth century. Though never used in the American military, it is said that marshal was being considered for the one rank above four-star general dur- ing World War II. It didn’t sound right with the name of the man selected for the job, however, and instead of being made Marshal Marshall, George Catlett Marshall was named General of the Armies Marshall. As Secretary of State, General Marshall later proposed the broad European Recovery Plan aiding Eu- rope after the war, the plan popularly named the Marshall Plan in his honor. General Marshall, a five-star general and chief of staff, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953.
