lance-knightn.

Brit.

/ˈlɑːnsnʌɪt/,

/ˈlansnʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈlænsˌnaɪt/

Forms: see lance n.¹ and knight n. Also 1500s lance-kneyght, 1800s lance-knecht; and see lansquenet n.

Etymology: < German lanzknecht (lanz = lance n.¹), an etymologizing perversion of landsknecht , < lands , genitive of land land n.¹ + knecht servant. Originally the German word denoted the mercenary foot-soldiers belonging to the imperial territory, in contradistinction to the Swiss; but it was very early applied in a wider sense; afterwards the etymological association with lance caused it to be restricted to men armed with a lance or similar weapon.

Historical.

A mercenary foot-soldier, esp. one armed with a lance or pike.
