serjeant
Old spelling, officer
Serjeant is an archaic British spelling of sergeant, preserved mainly in historical legal titles.
A serjeant-at-law was a high-ranking barrister in medieval and early modern England.
The Serjeant at Arms remains an officer in Parliament responsible for security and ceremonial duties.
Outside these formal contexts, the spelling sergeant prevails.
