Historically, the word 'pawn' is derived from Old French 'paon', which in turn comes from Late Latin 'pedo', forr foot. Hence, Pawns were to represent the everyday lowly footsoldier on the battlefield. Believe it or not, each Pawn on the board has its own name. The 1st Pawn, in front of the Rook (or castle), is the Farmer (who would work on the castle grounds). The 2nd (before the Knight) is the Farrier (a servant who would fix horseshoes; or Blacksmith). The 3rd (before the Bishop) is the Weaver/Notary, a clerical sort of profession responisible mostly for sew the Bishop's robes and keeping his documents in order. Before the King is the Merchant/Banker who governs the kingdom's money, and in front of the Queen is the fifth Pawn, the doctor. The 6th Pawn in front of the second Bishop is the Inkeeper, the 7th Pawn before the second Knight is the City Guard or Policeman, and the last Pawn before the second Rook is the Gambler, because it is all the way to the left, and in medieval times the left was considered sinister, good for no one but ne'er-do-wells.
