Etymology
The term 'caddie' has its roots in the French word 'cadet', which means 'young boy' or 'younger son'. In the 16th century, the French used 'cadet' to refer to a young assistant, particularly in military contexts. As golf gained popularity in the 17th century in Scotland, the role of the caddie emerged, essentially referring to those who would carry the heavy bags of clubs for golfers. The use of the term in golf was solidified when the game spread internationally, and 'caddie' became commonly associated with the sport. Over time, the role of the caddie expanded beyond mere carrying of clubs to include offering strategic advice and support, making caddies integral members of the golfing community.
