the.com/ownership

means Having the legal or moral right to call something yours — along with the responsibilities that come attached to it.

from From 'owner' plus the suffix '-ship' (meaning state or condition). 'Owner' traces back to Old English 'agen,' meaning 'possessed' or 'one's own,' related to 'agan,' meaning 'to have, own, or possess.' That same root gives us 'own' and 'ought' — the latter originally the past tense of 'owe.' So buried in the word is an old, quiet logic: to own a thing is, etymologically, to be bound to it.
