Word origin

The word 'livery' derives from the Middle English term 'livree,' which originated from the Old French 'livrer,' meaning 'to deliver.' Its early usage referred to the delivery of food and provisions, particularly to the servants of a household. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to the distinctive uniforms that servants wore as a sign of their employment and allegiance to a particular household or organization. The association with horses developed in the 19th century as livery stables became popular, providing boarding and care for horses, thereby expanding the term to include those services. Today, 'livery' encompasses various uses, from uniforms to transportation services, reflecting its rich historical roots in service and branding.
