Etymology
The word 'menial' originated in the 15th century from the Middle French word 'mesnial', meaning domestic, household. It evolved to refer to tasks or jobs that are considered unskilled or low in importance. Over time, 'menial' has come to be associated with work that is repetitive, mundane, and lacking in prestige.
