recruit:
(plural: ‘recruits‘; pronunciation: the letter ‘c’ is said with a ‘k’ sound as in “king”)
a person who has newly joined the military or the police force;
a newly joined member of a party, organisation, society, etc.;
a trainee; an apprentice; a new comer,
More and more young men and women are joining the Army, Navy and the Air Force, and the government is trying to train those new recruits with the latest and more sophisticated weapons.
We think that our party needs more and more recruits to get ourselves ready for the coming elections.
Most recruits leave their training because they find it hard to cope with and the recruiters don’t help them much to understand what is expected of them.
Note 2: ‘Recruit’ is more commonly used as a verb to mean ‘to select or enroll and join new members’.
