The word "custodian" has its origins in the 14th century from the Old French word "custodiene," meaning "care or custody." This term is derived from the Latin "custodia," referring to the act of protecting or preserving something. In the Middle Ages, a custodian was often a person appointed to oversee the care and management of a monastery, church, or estate. Over time, the term evolved to describe someone responsible for the maintenance, repair, and upkeep of an organization's physical assets, such as buildings, equipment, and property. Today, a custodian is typically an administrative or maintenance professional who ensures the smooth operation and well-being of an institution or facility.
