corporal
Two stripes below sergeant
Corporal has two distinct sources.
One means of the body: corporal punishment is physical discipline like spanking or caning.
The other corporal is a military rank—the lowest grade of noncommissioned officer, above private and below sergeant.
A corporal typically leads a small unit of soldiers.
