if you read cavalry and horse rider, you'll likely think that cavalry refers to someone gallant and luxury dressed, while a horse rider is just an ordinary-looking person

>The word "cavalry" originates from the French word "cavalerie", which is derived from the Italian "cavalleria", meaning "mounted soldiers" or "horsemanship"
>The word "horse" in English traces back to the Old English word "hors," which is believed to come from the Proto-Germanic *hrussą
>The word "rider" originates from the Old English word "rīdere," meaning "one who rides, trooper, knight, or mounted warrior". It's an agent noun derived from the verb "ride". The term has roots in Germanic languages, with related words like Dutch "rijder" and German "Reiter".

Ours is more conservative. We will try to find a word from a Nusantara dialect first or from Sanskrit or coin a new word from Malay components before using an English loanword. E.g., a computer mouse is "tetikus" from mouse in malay (tikus).
