'corporate-critical' originates from the combination of 'corporate,' derived from Latin 'corporatus,' meaning 'formed into a body,' and 'critical,' from Greek 'kritikos,' meaning 'able to judge.'

'corporate' evolved from the Latin 'corporatus' through Old French 'corporatif,' while 'critical' transformed from Greek 'kritikos' through Latin 'criticus' and Old French 'critique.'

Initially, 'corporate' referred to a body or group, while 'critical' meant able to judge. Together, they evolved to mean evaluating corporate entities.
