Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term derives from the Middle English 'compounen' (to mix or combine, from Latin 'componere') combined with 'interest' (from Medieval Latin 'interesse', meaning compensation for damage or loss, later expanding to money paid for the use of borrowed money). Financial application emerged in late medieval European banking practices to describe the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit so that the added interest also earns interest thereafter.
