Etymology

**Garderie** comes from the French noun **garde** “guard, watch”, itself from Latin *guardāre* “to watch, to keep safe”. The suffix **‑erie** turns the verb into a place‑designating noun, so *garderie* originally meant a guardhouse or place of security. In the 19th century the term broadened to denote a safe, supervised place for children, giving us the modern sense of a daycare.
