The term "butler" originates from the Old French word "bouteillier," which referred to the officer in charge of the wine cellar, derived from "bouteille," meaning bottle. It evolved in English during the late Middle Ages to denote a senior servant responsible for serving wine and overseeing other household staff. Over time, the role expanded to include various domestic duties, leading to the modern conception of a butler as a chief steward in a household.
