Etymology of COWKEEPER

The word "cowkeeper" is derived from the combination of two words: "cow" and "keeper".

The term "cow" comes from the Old English word "cū" which has origins in the Proto-Germanic word "kwōn" or "kwō". This word refers to the female of any bovine animal, specifically the adult female of the domesticated ox or bovine species (Bos taurus). Over time, "cow" has become the commonly used term for a female bovine.

The word "keeper" comes from the Old English word "cēpan" which means "to take care of" or "to guard". It can also be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "kapōną", meaning "to grasp" or "to hold".
