garrison

garrison: [13] The notion underlying garrison is of ‘protection’. Its ultimate source was Germanic *war-, denoting ‘caution’, which also produced English ward, warn, wary, and the -ware of beware. This produced the verb *warjan ‘protect, defend’, which Old French borrowed as garir (the related garer gave English garage). From it was derived the Old French noun garison ‘defence, protection’, from which English borrowed garrison. The concrete senses ‘fortress’, and hence ‘detachment of troops in such a fortress’, developed in the 15th century.
=> beware, garage, ward, warn, wary

garrison (v.)

"to place troops in," 1560s, from garrison (n.). Related: Garrisoned; garrisoning.

garrison (n.)

c. 1300, "store, treasure," from Old French garison "defense, protection, safety, security; crops, food; salvation; healing, recovery, cure" (Modern French guérison "cure, recovery, healing") from garir "defend" (see garret). Meaning "fortified stronghold" is from early 15c.; that of "body of troops in a fortress" is from mid-15c., a sense taken over from Middle English garnison "body of armed men stationed in a fort or town to guard it" (late 14c.), from Old French garnison "provision, munitions," from garnir "to furnish, provide" (see garnish (v.)).
