Origin of the word caretaker

"Caretaker" is a compound word formed from the Old English words "cēran" (to turn, care for) and "tācan" (to take, receive). It initially referred to someone who took care of or managed something, like a property or a person. Over time, it evolved to specifically describe someone who looks after a building or another person's property. The word entered the English language in the 15th century and has maintained its basic meaning throughout its history, though its connotations have evolved to reflect changing social dynamics.
