dairy

dairy: [13] Etymologically, a dairy is a place where a female kneader of bread works. The term for such an operative in Old English was d?ge, which came from the same Indo- European base (*dheigh-) as produced dough and the second syllable of lady. In Middle English this became deie or daye, and gradually progressed in meaning through ‘female servant’ in general to ‘female farm-servant’ and ‘dairymaid’, concerned with the keeping of milk and making it into butter and cheese (the word survived into modern times in Scottish English). From it was derived deierie or dayerie, to denote the place where such a woman worked.
=> dough, lady

dairy (n.)

late 13c., "building for making butter and cheese; dairy farm," formed with Anglo-French -erie affixed to Middle English daie (in daie maid "dairymaid"), from Old English d?ge "kneader of bread, housekeeper, female servant" (see dey (n.1)). The purely native word was dey-house.
