HISTORY OF THE WORD PLUMBER
The word “plumber” dates from the Roman Empire. The Latin for lead is plumbum. Roman roofs used lead in conduits and drain pipes and some were also covered with lead, lead was also used for piping and for making baths. In medieval times anyone who worked with lead was referred to as a plumber Thus a person with expertise in working with lead was first known as a Plumbarius which was later shortened to plumber.
