“The term ‘citizen,’ as understood in our law, is precisely analogous to the term ’subject’ in the common law, and the change of phrase has entirely resulted from the change of government. The sovereignty has been transferred from one man to the collective body of the people, and he who before as a ’subject of the king’ is now ‘a citizen of the State.”

State v. Manuel, 4 Dev. & Bat. 20, 24-26 (1838) cited in WKA

Thanks for showing your true ignorance:

analogous: similar in function but not in origin

Thus, thus they do NOT derive from the same source, the same origins, they only function similarly.

Except that it goes on to say “ and the change of phrase has entirely resulted from the change of government”, which is what I’ve always acknowledged. Do you know what “entirely resulted” means?

Please, please, PLEASE! Try to read a SENTENCE! A whole SENTENCE!

Then maybe someday you can graduate to paragraphs...

Yes, given any serious thought on the subject, it should become obvious.
