Etymology of OTHER ASSETS

The etymology of the word "other assets" is primarily derived from the Middle English word "other" which means "different" or "alternative", and the Middle English word "assets" which refers to "property", "possessions", or "resources".

The word "other" can be traced back to the Old English word "othre", related to the Old Norse word "annarr" and the Gothic word "anþar", meaning "second" or "another".

The term "assets" originated from the Old French word "acetz" or "assez" which referred to "enough" or "sufficient". This was influenced by the Latin word "assētum" meaning "property" or "enough". This Latin term itself was derived from the verb "asses", indicating "to have enough".
