Etymology

The word 'roster' originated from the Middle Dutch word 'roestere,' which means 'a list or register.' It evolved in the late 16th century in English to denote a list of names or a set of tasks assigned to individuals. Initially, rosters were used mainly in military contexts to keep track of soldiers and their assignments. As time progressed, the usage of the term expanded to include various fields such as hospitality, healthcare, and corporate environments, where managing schedules and assigning roles became essential for operations. The adoption of the term 'rostered' reflects this evolution, indicating the process of organizing people according to duty schedules.
