Scullery /(skŭl"lẽr*y̆)/
Scul·ler·y
Scullery n.
pl. Sculleries ((skŭl"lẽr*ĭz))
[Probably originally, a place for washing dishes, and for swillery , fr. OE. swilen to wash, AS. swilian (see Swill to wash, to drink), but influenced either by Icel. skola , skyla , Dan. skylle , or by OF. escuelier a place for keeping dishes, fr. escuele a dish, F. écuelle , fr. L. scutella a salver, waiter (cf. Scuttle a basket); or perhaps the English word is immediately from the OF. escuelier ; cf. OE. squyllare a dishwasher.]
A place where dishes, kettles, and culinary utensils, are cleaned and kept; also, a room attached to the kitchen, where the coarse work is done; a back kitchen.
Hence, refuse; filth; offal. [Obs. ]
