RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Ambulance
"Although you are undoubtedly familiar with the sound of the siren and the sight of the flashing lights of the ambulance, you may not necessarily know that the ambulance began as a walking hospital. The word ""ambulance"" indeed started off as a walking hospital, ""un h“pital ambulant"" in French, meaning literally ""a walking hospital."" The ""h“pital ambulant"" was devised during the campaigns of Napoleon to bring medical aid directly to his troops in the field. The original ""h“pital ambulant"" was a mobile unit designed to carry dressings and drugs to the wounded and evacuate the injured from the line of battle. The British, knowing a good idea when they saw it, came up with their own version of the ""h“pital ambulant."" But they economized by dropping the ""h“pital"" and corrupted ""ambulant"" to ""ambulance."" The French, of course, have for many years railed against the incursions of Anglo-Saxon words into the pure precincts of the French language. Nonetheless, they rejected their own ""h“pital ambulant"" and embraced the English ""ambulance."" So, in France today you can no longer see a hospital walking but ""ambulances"" are very much in evidence. "
