The French word for police is gendarme. No I don’t speak French, but I was looking it up recently. Why?
Because I came across the word for police in a few other languages. “Jandarma”
Jan Dharma?
In Sanskrit, that would be amazing – what does the police do? Their dharma is towards the people. Pretty awesome!
But of course that wouldn’t necessarily be where the word came from. The French gendarme came from gens d’ arms, meaning the men who possessed arms (like guns etc.) and are hence the police. But nice wishful thinking for sure with the Sanskrit connection!
