Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines the English words 'private' (originating from Latin 'privatus', meaning apart from the state or restricted to an individual) and 'brand' (from Old German 'brand', referring to a burning or a mark made by a hot iron). In Japanese retail, the transliteration 'puraibto-burando' (プライベートブランド) was adopted directly from English to designate store-owned product lines that compete with name brands.
