A martinet is a person who is very strict and makes people follow rules exactly — no exceptions, no “near enough.” It is often a boss, a teacher, or an army officer who cares more about the rule than about the person in front of them. It is not a kind word; it suggests the person is too hard, too fond of drill and small points. English took it from French, after a real 17th-century French army officer, Jean Martinet, who was famous for training soldiers very strictly. You will meet it more in writing than in casual speech. Though actually it names a type of person, not a rank: you can call a civilian a martinet if they run a kitchen or an office the same way.
厲行紀律、不容通融的人
組成Does not split into English pieces you can use elsewhere. Borrowed from French martinet, after Jean Martinet, a strict French army officer in the 1600s.
