  Admiral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Admiral is a word from the Arabic term Amir-al-bahr (Lord of the bay).
As the word was used by people speaking Latin or Latin-based languages it gained the "d" and endured a series of different endings and spellings leading to the English spelling "admyrall" in the 14th century and to "admiral" by the 16th century.
The word Admiral has today come to be almost exclusively associated with the highest naval rank in most of the world's navies, equivalent to the rank of General.
