Etymonline
Word Origin & History
pantry
c.1300, from Anglo-Fr. panetrie (O.Fr. paneterie) "bread room," from M.L. panataria "office or room of a servant who has charge of food" (lit. "bread"), from L. panis "bread" (see food). Sense in Eng. has evolved so far that its roots in "bread" are no longer felt.
