from From the Latin 'thesaurus,' meaning a hoard or storehouse — the same word that gives us the modern 'thesaurus,' a treasury of words. It passed through Old French as 'tresor' (treasure) into English, where a 'tresorer' was literally the keeper of the hoard. So the original treasurer guarded a strongbox of coins long before they were balancing spreadsheets.
