Etymology
Inherited from Middle High German swīzer. Equivalent to Schweiz + -er. The senses "doorman" and "milker" arose because Swiss people were commonly employed in Germany in those professions; the sense "sacristan" arose because sacristans' garb resembled that of the Swiss Guards. For the sense development compare also French Suisse (“Swiss”): suisse (“doorman”). See: French Nouns '
Suisse'.
