discipline
{{11}}discipline (n.) early 13c., "penitential chastisement; punishment," from O.Fr. descepline (11c.)

Meaning "branch of instruction or education" is first recorded late 14c. Meaning "military training" is from late 15c.; that of "orderly conduct as a result of training" is from c.1500.
