Colonel is not a Latin word, but it comes from Latin columna "column", because a colonel was an officer heading a column of soldiers. The modern form probably emerged in French or Italian.

Why doesn't colonel have a r?

The word comes from Latin, so somewhere the pronunciation has changed separately from the spelling. --- Colonel comes from Old Italian colonello, commander of a column of troops, which in turn derives from colonna, column. Originally, English followed the Spanish practice and spelled the word "coronel," pronounced the way it looks. Eventually this was corrupted to ker-nel. Then a decision was made that coronel ought to be spelled "colonel" to better reflect its Italian origin, but the "kernel" pronunciation remained.
