means A bank — an institution (or, in some countries, a specific bank's name) that holds, lends, and moves money.

from From Italian 'banco,' meaning bench or counter — the literal table where medieval Italian moneychangers set up shop in markets to trade and lend coin. When a moneychanger went bust, his bench was ceremonially broken — 'banca rotta,' broken bench — which is also where 'bankrupt' comes from. The word spread through Europe's trade routes largely unchanged, landing in Spanish and Portuguese as 'banco' and in English as 'bank.'
