The word is German, and translates to 'Field-train-master'. Field means the battlefield, as used in the title Field Marshal, and train refers to the baggage train or artillery train that accompanies an army. The expression has been used since Philip VI of France[citation needed], before guns or cannons were used on the battlefield.
