Etymology
RCMP stands for Royal Canadian Mounted Police; Royal means 'connected to the king or queen', Canadian names the country, Mounted means 'on horseback' like when you 'mount' a horse, and Police means 'force that keeps order'. So, the RCMP is Canada's national police force that began as officers on horseback and now serves the whole country.
