The word "henchman" referred originally to one who attended on a horse for his employer, that is, a horse groom. Hence, like constable and marshal, also originally stable staff, henchman became the title of a subordinate official in a royal court or noble household. It is now used primarily to describe a stock character in many adventure stories: the villain's trusted aide. -Wikipedia's definition
