Etymology
The word 'clerical' originated from the Late Latin word 'clericฤlis', which means 'of the clergy'. It first appeared in English in the 17th century. The term was initially used to describe the duties and responsibilities of clergy members but later expanded to refer to office work and administrative tasks. Today, 'clerical' is commonly used in both a religious context and to describe administrative tasks in a workplace setting.
