Best Answer

The word guerrilla comes from the French word "guerre" meaning war. The word "guerrilla" in Spanish also means "little war". Hence the word guerrilla is used to mean unconventional tactics, where lightly armed combatants take on more heavily armed and static armies in mobile attacks. It derives from the Peninsula War 1807-1814, where lightly armed civilian armies (or militia) fought Napoleon's forces.
