what is a recrut?

Answer 1

Are you sure you don't mean "recruit"? If you do, the meaning of that is someone who has been inducted into an organizations, such as a Marine recruit. Someone who has been accepted, yet has not been trained. It comes from the French "recrue", meaning "to grow again". Hope this helps.
