The word "milk pitcher" is a combination of two words: "milk" and "pitcher".
The word "milk" comes from the Old English word "meoluc", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "miluks". This Proto-Germanic word eventually evolved into several related words in various Germanic languages, including "milch" in German and "melk" in Dutch.
The word "pitcher" has a different origin. It comes from the Old French word "pichier" or "piche", which meant a vessel for holding and pouring liquids. The Old French term can be traced back to the Late Latin word "picarium", which meant "pitcher or jug". This Latin word, in turn, was derived from the Greek word "pikos", which also referred to a vessel for pouring liquids.
