An aide-de-camp is a military officer whose job is to help an officer of a higher rank — carrying messages, arranging visits, staying close so the senior officer can work. It is still a real army and navy title, and you also hear it in ceremonial jobs around a president, a governor, or a royal household. Everyday English almost never needs it; people more often say aide, or they name the rank. English kept the French words almost unchanged: aide de camp, “ of the camp”. The usual plural is aides-de-camp, with the s on aide. Though actually, in casual speech some people just say aide even for this military job, which is looser than the old title.
From the word’s history
From French aide de camp: aide + de 'of' + camp '(military) camp'.
借自法文 aide de camp，字面是「營地的助手」。
組成Unadapted borrowing from French aide de camp: aide + de (“of”) + camp (“military camp”).
