Etymology

Stewardship was originally made up of the tasks of a domestic steward, from stiġ (house, hall) and weard, (ward, guard, guardian, keeper).[http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/steward American Heritage Dictionary] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140927174257/https://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/steward |date=2014-09-27 }}{{cite web|url=http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/steward|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610152812/http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/steward|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 10, 2011|title=steward - Definition of steward in English by Oxford Dictionaries|website=Oxford Dictionaries - English}} In the beginning, it referred to the household servant's duties for bringing food and drink to the castle's dining hall.
