Etymology

The term 'franchised' originates from the French word 'franchise,' which means 'freedom' or 'privilege.' It entered the English language in the 14th century, typically in the context of granting certain rights or privileges. Over time, particularly in the 20th century, the term evolved to encompass the modern business model where a parent company grants rights to individuals to market its goods or services. The franchise model has become widely popular in various sectors, including food, retail, and services, allowing entrepreneurs to operate under an established brand with proven methods while minimizing some of the risks associated with starting a new business from scratch.
