Gladiator
From the Latin word, gladius, for sword. It’s no coincidence that the flower, gladiolus, is named this, as the leaves of the gladiolus, resemble the ancient Roman sword. The PIE root appears elsewhere.

Re: Gladiator
I just found out that there is a feminine version, gladiatrix. Not surprising, but I'd never thought of it before.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
