Etymology

The word 'secretarial' originates from the noun 'secretary,' which comes from the Latin word 'secretarius,' meaning 'one entrusted with secrets.' In the late Middle Ages, the term began to designate the person responsible for keeping records or managing correspondence for monarchs or influential figures. As bureaucracies grew during the Renaissance and into the modern era, the role of a secretary expanded and became more formalized. By the 19th century, 'secretarial' began to describe the broader range of duties associated with office administration, reflecting the growing need for organizational support in business settings. Today, 'secretarial' encompasses a wide array of professional functions vital for the smooth operation of businesses and institutions.
