houseman
Butler's junior colleague
A houseman is a male domestic servant, particularly one who performs general household duties in a large establishment.
In British usage, houseman also refers to a junior hospital doctor completing residency training—equivalent to an American intern.
The term appears in both contexts less frequently than it once did.
