Etymology

From French mousquetaire. Surface etymology is musket +‎ -eer

Noun

musketeer (plural musketeers)

(military) A foot soldier armed with a musket.
(military) In 17th- and 18th-century France, a member of the royal household bodyguard.
A comrade or fellow.
- 2017 January 19, Peter Bradshaw, “T2 Trainspotting review – choose a sequel that doesn't disappoint”, in the Guardian‎:
  Reuniting the cast of Trainspotting for a new adventure 21 years on could have gone badly. The BBC’s misjudged This Life + 10, bringing the cast of the iconic 90s TV drama back together, is a case in point. But Boyle and his four musketeers give it just the right frantic, jaded energy and manic anxiety.
