* It comes from the word "cellier", which meant "a storeroom" or "a wine cellar."
* "Cellier" itself is derived from the Latin word "cellarium", which also meant "a storeroom" or "a pantry."
So, the word "cellar" has been around for centuries, with its meaning evolving from a general storage space to specifically referring to a room beneath a house or building, often used for storage of food, wine, or other items.
