English: occupational name for an officer of a court of justice,
whose duties included serving writs, distraining goods, and (formerly)
arresting people. In England formerly it was also a status name for
the chief officer of a hundred (administrative subdivision of a
county). The derivation is from Middle English, Old French
bailis, from Late Latin baiulivus (adjective),
‘pertaining to an attendant or porter’ (see Bailey).
