the.com/postman
The one stranger you trust with your house keys, secrets, and packages.
means A person, traditionally a man, employed to collect and deliver letters and parcels along a regular route.
from A plain compound of 'post' + 'man'. 'Post' here comes from the system of horse-relay stations once spaced along roads — each a 'post' (from Latin 'positus', 'placed/set down') where riders and fresh horses were stationed to carry messages onward. By the 16th–17th centuries 'the post' meant the whole mail service, and a 'postman' was simply the man who walked it. Same root that gives us 'postal' and the 'post office'.
