Etymology
Liveryman comes from livery, a word that originally meant something 'given'—like clothes or food for servants and travellers—and a livery stable was a place that provided horses for hire. So a liveryman was the person who ran the stable and cared for the horses, which is why today it means a man who looks after horses at a livery stable.
