late 18th century: from Latin veterinarius, from veterinae ‘cattle’.
wiktionary
From Latin veterīnārius(“cattle doctor”) + -an, from veterīnae(“beasts of burden”), probably from vehō(“to convey, draw”).
etymonline
veterinarian (n.)
"animal doctor, one who practices the art of treating disease and injuries in domestic animals," 1640s, from Latin veterinarius "of or having to do with beasts of burden," also, as a noun, "cattle doctor," from veterinum "beast of burden," perhaps from vetus (genitive veteris) "old" (see veteran), possibly from the notion of "experienced," or of "one year old" (hence strong enough to draw burdens). Another theory connects it to Latin vehere "to draw," on notion of "used as a draft animal." Replaced native dog-leech (1520s).
