secretaries are NOT just everyone as you say...
why afterall would the word Secretary contain the word secret:
There is in fact a reason for secret to be contained within secretary, for that’s exactly what a secretary originally did: kept secrets. The word first appears in the English written record in 1387, and it referred to anyone who is entrusted with or privy to a secret. A synonym would be a "confidante". Being a confidante to a lord or king put you in a position to serve as an adviser or at least an assistant to such a man, and this is how the word came to be associated with ministerial positions (secretary of defense), and also how it came to apply to an assistant in general, as an executive’s secretary. In fact, the British home secretary is a member of the Privy Council, privy meaning private and quite similar to secret.
The word comes from medieval Latin secretarius “a confidential officer”, which came from Latin secretum “secret”. The Romance languages have similar words deriving from the Latin source. The ultimate root of secret is s(w)e-, which is the third-person pronoun and also refers to the social group as a whole. In this instance the sense is "on one's own". Some other words from that root and of a similar sense are seclude, secure, and select.
