Etymology
'bottler' originates from the English word 'bottle,' which comes from the Old French 'bouteille,' derived from the Latin 'butticula,' meaning 'small cask.'
'bouteille' transformed into the Middle English word 'bottle,' and eventually became the modern English word 'bottler.'
Initially, it meant 'a person who bottles,' but over time it evolved to include the informal British meaning of 'a coward.'
