Etymology
'corporate-sponsored' originates from the combination of 'corporate,' derived from Latin 'corporatus,' meaning 'formed into a body,' and 'sponsored,' from Latin 'sponsus,' meaning 'to promise or pledge.'
'corporate' evolved from the Latin 'corporatus' through Old French 'corporatif,' while 'sponsored' came from Latin 'sponsus' through Old French 'sponsor.'
Initially, 'corporate' referred to a body or group, and 'sponsored' meant to pledge support. Together, they now mean 'supported by a corporation.'
