The term "powder monkey" originated in the late 16th century, initially used to describe young boys or young men who were responsible for handling and transporting gunpowder on ships, particularly during naval battles. While the exact date of its first use is unclear, it became more prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries as naval warfare evolved. The role was critical during the Age of Sail, where the safe handling of explosives was vital for ship operations.
