Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'service', originating from the Latin 'servitium' (slavery, servitude, body of servants) via Old French, and 'charge', from the Late Latin 'carricare' (to load a wagon or car). First recorded in commercial English in the late 19th century, it evolved to designate an extra fee added to a bill for labor or services rendered.
