the.com/conscription

means The compulsory enrollment of civilians into military service by government order.

from From Latin conscribere — 'con-' (together) plus 'scribere' (to write) — literally 'to enroll by writing together,' as in listing names on a roll. The Latin noun conscriptio meant a written list or register. The word entered English in the 1700s and locked onto its military sense around the French Revolutionary Wars, when France's mass levée en masse gave Europe a new word for the old, grim practice of writing your name down whether you liked it or not.
