/ˌpəːsnˈɛl/, U.S.

/ˌpərsnˈɛl/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French personnel.

Etymology: < French personnel (adjective) personal adj., in early use in English contrasted with matériel n., which may have given rise to this use in English; the corresponding use as noun is not recorded in French until 1831 (and then apparently with no association with matériel ); corresponding use of German Personal is, however, found earlier (end of the 18th cent. as Personale ), and this may have been the model for the use in both English and French. Compare slightly earlier personal n. 6, perhaps also after German; it is possible that the German use was first adapted in English as personal , and subsequently modified to the French form personnel by association with the French loanword matériel n. In sense 2 probably independently after French personnel the physical appearance of a person (1812).

a. The body of people employed in an organization, or engaged in a service or undertaking, esp. of a military nature; staff, employees collectively. Now usually with plural agreement.In early use frequently contrasted with the matériel or material equipment used in an organization or an undertaking. Cf. matériel n. 2.
