Etymology


The phrase "to run a business" combines the verb "run," which originally meant to move swiftly on foot, with "business," derived from Old English 'bisignes,' meaning 'anxiety' or 'care.' Over time, "run" evolved to include managing or controlling activities, hence "to run a business" means to manage the operations of a commercial venture.
