WHAT DOES GENERAL MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

General

General is the general designation of a high-ranking officer in the armed forces of most countries. The term both can be used generically to designate a subclass of officers - the general officers - as can be used to designate a specific patent. In the first case it may also apply to high-ranking Navy officers - generally known as admirals - but in the latter case it is usually only applicable to patents in armies and in most air forces. At the origin of the term is the Latin word generalis which means, roughly, chief. However, in the armies of the Roman Empire, the general officer in command of a legion had the title of legato. The general's patent began to emerge in the armies of Europe in the seventeenth century, from the old patent of captain-general. The post of captain-general meant the "general" captain, that is, the captain of the whole army. The denomination "captain-general" was contracted, in the majority of the armies, to simply "general".
