Etymology

The term 'warder' originates from the Middle English word 'warder', which derives from the Old English 'weard', meaning 'to guard' or 'to keep watch'. This Old English root is related to the German word 'Wรคchter', which also carries the meaning of a guard or watchman. Over the centuries, the term has evolved within legal and penal contexts, referring specifically to individuals who are tasked with maintaining safety and security in correctional institutions. The role of a warder has been crucial throughout history, as societies have developed systems of incarceration and punishment, necessitating the oversight of prisoners for both their safety and that of the public.
