A container or small box, originally for storing tea; also a person who carries golf clubs for a golfer.
From Chinese 'kati,' a unit of weight. British merchants adopted the term for tea storage containers in the 17th-18th centuries. Later applied to golf assistants.
Tea caddies became so important to wealthy British people that they had special locks and were treated like jewelry—which is wild when you think about how tea has completely changed global history!
