Objecting to a word because of its origins 800 years ago is ridiculous. If people want to object to words based on possibly offensive origins, they'll have to throw out an awful lot of them!

As a side note, "lord" originates from the Old English words for "loaf ward", or keeper of the bread. Interesting!
