Origin Middle English: from Old French bacheler; of uncertain origin. The word bachelor was adopted from French in the early Middle Ages. The earliest meaning was ‘a young knight serving under another's banner’, one who was not old or rich enough to have his own band of followers. The sense ‘unmarried man’ is known from the late Middle Ages—Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1343–1400) wrote in The Canterbury Tales that ‘bachelors have often pain and woe’.
