為什麼老闆叫“老闆”？

自 1975 年以來，遊戲中就有老闆，我認為我真的不必在這裡定義“老闆”。但是這個詞是怎麼卡住的呢？什麼時候第一次將具有挑戰性的敵人稱為“老闆”？

我覺得這非常有趣，並且做了一些深入的探勘並製作了一個關於這個主題的影片：

The earliest source I found is from a 1980 arcade operating manual of Space Panic, mentioning bosses. Another enemy in that game is a ‘don’.

In early 1980’s Japan, “bosu” (loanword from English) had a derogatory connotation to do with Mafia. Translating “bosu” would give you “boss”, but in English the negative meaning is not present.

Old Kung Fu films use this term for mobsters too (Bruce Lee in The Big Boss).
