Etymology
'corporate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'corporatus,' where 'corporare' meant 'to form into a body.' 'Owned' comes from Old English 'āgen,' meaning 'to possess.'
'corporate' changed from the Latin word 'corporatus' and eventually became the modern English word 'corporate.' 'Owned' evolved from the Old English word 'āgen' to the modern English 'owned.'
Initially, 'corporate' meant 'formed into a body,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'related to a corporation.' 'Owned' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to possess.'
