2. From Where The Word
“FINANCE” Derived ?
The origin of the word "finance" has a fascinating
history.
Aristotle provided a canonical definition of the
word over two thousand years ago:
"And statesmen as well ought to know these
things; for a state is often as much in want of
money and of such devices for obtaining it as a
household, or even more so; hence some public
men devote themselves entirely to finance."
From : Aristotle, Politics, Book I . 2

If we travel back to c. 1200-1300, however, we
see that that the word “fine” also had positive
definitions as it still does today.
In Latin, French and English, it meant things
like “perfected, of highest quality” ; “acme,
peak, height” ; “the highest good” and
“delicate, intricately skillful.”

It wasn’t until 1527 that
the word fine began taking
on the modern and more
negative definition of
“sum of money imposed
as penalty for some
offense,” and 1559 when
assigned the verb meaning
“to punish by a fine.”
