Aimiréal

Is ceann de na céimeanna is airde sa chabhlach i dtíortha áirithe é aimiréal. Sna Stáit Aontaithe agus i dtíortha an Chomhlathais Bhriotanaigh, is ionann "lán-aimiréal" agus "lánghinearál" san arm nó san aerfhórsa, agus is céim níos airde ná leasaimiréal é, agus níos ísle ná Aimiréil an Chabhlaigh.

Sanasaíocht

Is dócha go dtagann an focal aimiréal ón Fhraincis amiral, ón Laidin mheánaoiseach admiralis, admirallus. Tháinig na focail Laidne seo ón Araibis amīral (أمير الـ) – amīr (أمير), “rí, prionsa, ceannaire, uasal, tiarna, gobharnóir”, agus al (الـ), an t-alt Araibise (“an” i nGaeilge). In Araibis, tugtar Amīr al-Baḥr (أمير البحر) ar aimiréal freisin; anseo, ciallaíonn al-Baḥr (البحر) “an fharraige”.^[1]^[2]
