Ultimately from the Latin word infantem "infant" through French and Italian. The meaning evolved from Latin infantem"infant", to Italian infante originally "a youth", then later "foot soldier" to French infantrie to English infantry.
A foot solder was called a youth because most of them were youths plus they were too low a rank to be part of the cavalry.
