Etymology

The term 'caddy' originates from the French word 'cadet', which means 'youngster' or 'follower'. The word was used to describe a person who carried a golfer’s clubs to assist them during play. The usage of the term in golf became prominent in the 19th century, particularly as the game gained popularity in Scotland and then spread globally.
