Etymology of BE DUTY
The phrase be duty is not commonly found in the English language, and therefore does not have a specific etymology. The word duty itself, however, originates from the Old French word deu, meaning owed or owing. It subsequently evolved into devoir in Middle French before being borrowed into Middle English as duty around the 14th century. Its ultimate roots can be traced back to the Latin word debitum, which also means a debt or that which is due.
