Word origin

The term 'buyout' originated in the business world in the mid-20th century. It is derived from the verb 'buy out', which means to purchase all of something, such as a company or a person's share in a business. Buyouts have become common in corporate finance as a strategy for taking control of another company or consolidating ownership. The concept of buyouts has evolved over time to include various forms such as leveraged buyouts and management buyouts, each with its own set of implications and risks.
