Regarding the verb sense, "to restrict labour productivity", our entry says "originally from the way that conscripts may approach following orders". However, according to Christensen's Knowledge Management: Perspectives and Pitfalls, "the term "soldiering" originated from the transportation of soldiers by sea - soldiers were considered privileged passengers as they, unlike the seamen, had no duties".
