The term "butler" is believed to have originated from the Old French word "bouteillier," which referred to a wine steward or someone in charge of the wine cellar. Its usage in English can be traced back to the late Middle Ages, particularly in the 14th century, when it began to denote a household servant responsible for managing the domestic staff and serving meals. The role evolved over time, becoming associated with a higher status within the hierarchy of household staff.
