Definition
a person who works in banking, especially in a senior position at a bank
Etymology
from 'bank' (from Italian 'banco' meaning 'bench', referring to money-changers' tables) + agent suffix '-er', first recorded in the 1440s
Kelly Says
The word 'bank' comes from the benches that Italian money-changers used in medieval marketplaces! When they went broke, people would literally break their bench - that's where 'bankrupt' comes from.
