Etymology

The term 'pooling' originates from the concept of a 'pool', which has a long-standing etymology connected to the Old French word 'pol', meaning 'a small body of water', as well as the Latin 'piscina', which translates to 'fish pond'. As language evolved, 'pool' began to take on meanings associated with gathering or collecting, especially in contexts involving shared resources or investments. By the mid-20th century, 'pooling' was widely recognized in the finance sector as a method of risk management where participants combine their assets to achieve better overall performance. This evolution showcases how language adapts to new social and economic realities, reflecting shifts towards collaboration and shared economic strategies.
