'corporate-friendly' originates from the English word 'corporate,' which comes from the Latin word 'corporatus,' meaning 'formed into a body,' and 'friendly,' from Old English 'freondlic,' meaning 'kind or helpful.'

'Corporate' evolved from the Latin 'corporatus' through Old French 'corporatif,' and 'friendly' from Old English 'freondlic.'

Initially, 'corporate' referred to a group of people united into a body, while 'friendly' meant kind or helpful. Together, they evolved to mean supportive of businesses.
