SECOND (through Fr. from Lat. secundus, following, sequi, to follow)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 570 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SECOND (through Fr. from Lat. secundus, following, sequi, to follow) , next after the first in order, time, rank, &c., more particularly the ordinal number corresponding to two. It is the only French ordinal in English; the older word was " other," Ger. antler, Goth. anthar, Skt. antara. The use of the word for the sixtieth
part
  of a minute of time and of degree is from Med. Lat. secunda, abbreviation of minuta secunda, the second small division of the hour, minuta prima or minuta being the first division. Another particular meaning is for one who supports or assists another, especially the friend at a duel, who arranges for his
principal
  the terms of the encounter and
sees
  that all rules of the duel are carried out. In the British army an officer is said to be " seconded ". (with the
accent
  on the second syllable) when he is employed on
special
  service outside his
regiment
 , his name being retained on the regimental
list
 , but his place being filled by promotion of other
officers
 . He may rejoin his
regiment
  when his
special
  employment is at an end.
