Majordomo
A majordomo is a person who speaks, makes arrangements, or takes charge for another. Typically, the term refers to the highest (''major'') person of a household (''dom(unicode:ū)s'' or ''domicile'') staff, who acts on behalf of the (often absent) owner of a (typically) large or significant residence. Similar terms include ''castellan'', ''concierge'', ''chamberlain'', ''seneschal'', ''Mayor of the Palace'', ''maître d'hôtel'', ''butler'' and ''steward''. The term also refers, more informally, to someone who oversees the day-to-day responsibilities of a business enterprise.
== Etymology ==
The origin is from ''maior dom(unicode:ū)s'' (Latin), and it was borrowed into English from Spanish "mayordomo" or obsolete Italian "maiordomo". Also found as French "majordome", modern Italian "maggiordomo", Portuguese and Galician "mordomo", in Romanian and Catalan "majordom".
