Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'private' (derived from Latin 'privatus', meaning set apart or belonging to an individual) and 'company' (from Old French 'companie', ultimately from Latin 'companio', meaning one who eats bread with another). Historically emerging during the expansion of modern corporate law in the 19th century, it came to define commercial enterprises whose shares are held by private individuals or a small group of investors rather than being publicly traded on a stock exchange.
