There is nothing secure about equity. It takes after even unsecured creditors. Yet we call attys who deal in equities "securities lawyers". Wtf.

Security also has the meaning of, "fastened, bound." Maybe it originated in how debtors were bound to the bound to creditors by law, or some shit.

I dunno. I Googled it and nothing came up.

That's a good guess. Maybe true. I have a feeling it has to do with how they were originally marketed as "secure" or something in the colloquial sense to attract investors.

Earliest corps were joint stock companies that required a royal charter, like the e india company. Bc debt doesn't run against the king or some bs like that they couldn't issue bonds. But holding their stock gave you a ratable secured interest in the cargo of an expedition. Hence 'securities'
