Etymology
'finance' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'financer,' where 'fin' meant 'end' or 'settlement.'
'financer' transformed into the English word 'finance' during the late Middle Ages, eventually leading to the modern English word 'financing.'
Initially, it meant 'to settle a debt,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'providing funds.'
