'company' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'compania,' where 'com-' meant 'together' and 'panis' meant 'bread.' 'Owned' comes from Old English 'āgen,' meaning 'to possess.'

'company' changed from the Old French word 'compaignie' and eventually became the modern English word 'company.' 'Owned' evolved from the Old English 'āgen' to the modern English 'owned.'

Initially, 'company' meant 'a group of people who eat together,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a business entity.' 'Owned' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to possess.'
