Etymology
Bachelor also names the first university degree and comes from Latin baccalaureus, meaning 'young student'. A helpful way to remember this is the old story that links baccalaureus to bacca 'laurel berry' (a sign of a prize), so a 'bachelor' was a young scholar who had earned the first honour or degree.
