Similar words in other languages include the Arabic mul zim (Arabic: ), meaning "holding a place", and the Hebrew word segen (Hebrew: ), meaning "deputy" or "second to". In the nineteenth century, British writers who either considered this word an imposition on the English language, or difficult for common soldiers and sailors, argued for it to be replaced by the calque "steadholder." However, their efforts failed, and the French word is still used, along with its Lieutenant-Colonel variation, in both the Old and the New World.
