Etymology
The term 'saleslady' originated in the late 19th to early 20th century as the retail sector began to grow and women entered the workforce in greater numbers. It combines 'sales,' derived from the Old English 'sala' meaning 'act of selling,' with 'lady,' which comes from the Old English 'hlæfdige,' meaning 'loaf-kneader' or 'woman of high status.' The word reflects societal changes that allowed women to take on roles traditionally dominated by men, particularly in sales and retail. As women increasingly participated in the labor market, terms like 'saleslady' became more common, helping to establish a female presence in customer service and sales functions.
