Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term is a compound of 'policy' (derived from Middle French 'police' meaning contract or written promise, ultimately from ancient Greek 'apodeixis' via Latin) and 'holder' (from Old English 'healdan', meaning to possess or keep). It emerged in the 19th century with the growth of modern insurance industries to denote the individual or entity that legally owns an insurance policy.
