Etymology of BARONETAGE
The word "Baronetage" originates from the combination of two words: "baronet" and the suffix "-age".
The term "baronet" comes from the Late Latin word "baro", meaning "man" or "servant", and the Old French word "baroun", meaning "someone holding land". It specifically refers to a hereditary title ranking below a baron but above a knight in the British nobility system. The creation of baronets was introduced by King James I of England in 1611.
The suffix "-age" is of French origin, derived from the Latin "-aticum". It is commonly used to form nouns indicating a condition, action, or collection.
So, the word "Baronetage" essentially means the collective condition, status, or body of baronets.
