Etymology
The word 'cellar' originated from the Old French word 'cellier', which meant 'storeroom' or 'pantry'. It has been used in English since the 13th century to refer to an underground storage area. Cellars were traditionally used for storing food, wine, and other provisions to keep them cool and fresh. Over time, cellars have become associated with wine storage and are commonly found in homes, restaurants, and wineries.
