The word boatswain has been in the English language since approximately 1450. It is derived from late Old English batswegen, from bat (boat) concatenated with Old Norse sveinn (swain), meaning a young man, apprentice, a follower, retainer or servant. Directly translated to modern Norwegian it would be båtsvenn, while the actual crew title in Norwegian is båtsmann ("boats-man"). The phonetic spelling bosun has been observed since 1868.^[1] This latter spelling was used in Shakespeare's The Tempest written in 1611, and as Bos'n in later editions.
