jäger
Germanic woodland stalker
Jäger is German for hunter.
In English, it appears mainly in military history for light infantry or rifleman units, particularly in German and Austrian armies.
The word also names Jägermeister, a German herbal liqueur—literally "master hunter." In the video game Pacific Rim, jaegers are giant robots.
The umlaut is often dropped: jager.
