'master' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'magister,' where 'magis' meant 'more' or 'greater.'

'magister' transformed into the Old French word 'maistre,' and eventually became the modern English word 'master' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'teacher' or 'one who has control,' but over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'expert' and 'to become skilled.'
