Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English baillif, baylyf, from - and Old French bailif (plural bailis), probably from *bāiulivus (castellan), from Latin bāiulus (porter; steward), whence also bail. As a translation of foreign titles, French bailli, bailie, Dutch baljuw, etc. Mostly replaced the role of native reeve. bailo.
