> No, it doesn't, do they both words do (eventually) trace back to the same Latin root. So it does. "Derives" does not imply a single step. 1570s, from French infantrie, infanterie (16c.), from older Italian or Spanish infanteria "foot soldiers, force composed of those too inexperienced or low in rank to be cavalry," a collective noun from infante "foot soldier," originally "a youth," from Latin infantem (see infant).
