Etymology
The term 'chartered' originates from the Latin word 'carta', meaning 'a document or paper'. This Latin word evolved into the Old French 'charte', which referred to an official document or a written grant of rights. In English, the term began to take on its current meaning during the Middle Ages, particularly with the establishment of charters for towns and corporations, granting them specific rights and privileges. Over time, the concept of 'chartering' expanded to include not only government-issued documents but also the leasing and hiring of vehicles and services, reflecting the evolving nature of authority and privilege in various domains.
