Latin has several words you could translate as "warrior" - Guerrieri
isn't one of them. Unless you count modern Italian as very, very late
Latin. :)
The most literal translation is probably "bellator" (-> lingua
bellatoris). No doubt that's what be'tor is short for. :)
There's also "duelis" (-> lingua duelis), where we get "duel"; that
one has a nice ring to it.
In the sense of "professional soldier", the word was "miles" (->
lingua militis), whence we get "military". In Medieval Latin "miles"
was used for "knight"...
