Etymology

**Etymology** The French noun *société* derives directly from the Old French *societé*, which in turn comes from Latin *societas* “association, companionship, fellowship.” *Societas* is formed from *socius* “companion, ally” (from the root *sōc-* meaning “to join together”), and the word entered French in the 13th century, retaining its sense of a group of people bound by a common purpose and later expanding to mean society as a whole.
