I did a search about the word “butler” as i was posting this.
‘The English word “butler” itself derives from Old French bouteillier (“bottle bearer”), and before that from Middle Latin butticula. “Butticula”, in turn, came down to English as “butt” from the Latin buttis, meaning a large cask. The modern English “butler” thus relates both to bottles and casks.’
Turns out, not that interesting of a word.
