Question

The term of bank is derived from ________ word

Answer 1

Answer:

The name bank is derived from either the Old Italian word banca or the French word banque

Explanation:

The name bank is derived from either the Old Italian word banca or the French word banque, both of which signify a bench or money exchange table. In the past, European money lenders or money changers would exhibit (show) coins from many countries in large heaps (quantity) on benches or tables for lending or exchanging. Some sources believe that the term "bank" is derived from the words "bancus" or "banqee," which mean "bench." The early bankers, the Jews of Lombardy, conducted their transactions on market benches. Others believe that the term "bank" was derived from the German word "back," which meant a joint stock company and was Italianized into "banco."
