Lieutenant (abbr LEUT in RAN, LT in Army) comes from the French Lieu (place) and Tenant (from the French Tenir – to hold, where tenant becomes ‘one who holds’) so together it meant ‘to hold the place of’. In the RAN one rank below this is Sub Lieutenant (abbr SBLT) and below that is Acting Sub Lieutenant. An officer cadet (OCDT) may be made a Midshipman. MIDN is a term from the old tradition of men training to be officers living in the middle part of the ship, between the sailors whose quarters were in the forward part of the ship, and the officers who were quartered in the rear of the ship.
In both the navy and the army, the word denoted a position or was used as a modifier to other ranks such as Lieutenant Commander (navy) or Lieutenant Colonel or Lieutenant General (army). In short, a person with this title ‘held the position’ of a more senior rank when that person was absent and served as a second-in-command.
