Origin:
The term "takeover" originated in the 16th century to describe the act of seizing or capturing a place or person. It was later used in a more figurative sense to mean gaining control of a business or organization.
In the 19th century, the term was used in the context of mergers and acquisitions, where one company would acquire another by purchasing a majority of its shares.
The modern usage of the term "takeover" to refer to the act of acquiring control of a company or organization became widespread in the 20th century, particularly during the wave of corporate mergers and acquisitions that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s.
