Apparently this position at times involved maintenance duties and doorkeeping,and the maintenance duties took over the more exalted tasks,giving us the position of janitor as we know it today.看门人的假日应该放在一月，因为以下两个词都同一月有联系。拉丁文中的ianus 表示的是“拱门、道路或走廊”， 也是通常所说的门神、门口和开始。正如许多小学生知道的那样，我们的一月——最初的一个月——是以神的名字命名的。拉丁文ianitor 是单词 janitor 的来源， 追根溯源它也来自ianus， 意思是“看门人或管门人”。也许因为ianitor 这个词在拉丁文记录和文件中很普遍， 它才被英语所采用，最早被记录为“看门人”之意时大约在1567年的一篇苏格兰文章中。圣彼得在早期的引文中被称为“天堂守护神”。这个词仍然是“看门人”的意思，但在苏格兰用法中janitor 也指代低层的学校公务员。 显然这个职位时不时地也包含着维护的责任和守门的义务，这种维护的责任吸取了更为崇高的任务，于是就有了正如我们今天所知道的看门人这个职务〔guttersnipe〕A person of the lowest class.社会最低层的人〔sima〕The lower layer of the earth's outer crust that underlies the sial and is rich in silica, iron, and magnesium.硅镁层：地球外壳的较低层，在硅铅层之下，富含硅、铁和镁〔proletariat〕The propertyless class of ancient Rome, constituting the lowest class of citizens.（古罗马社会中的）最下层阶级：古代罗马没有财产的阶级，组成公民中最低层的阶级 |
