Origin

Late 18th century (in sense 2 of the noun): from French échelon, from échelle 'ladder', from Latin scala.

Echelon came into English in the military sense describing a formation of troops. The arrangement of troops in echelon is described in its source, for it comes from French échelon, from échelle ‘ladder’, from Latin scala (see scale). The notion of ‘steps of a ladder’ is reflected in modern figurative use in the context of company hierarchy or strata of society.
