shipowner

/ˈʃɪˌpoʊnɝ/ noun A2

a person who owns ships

Word Origin A compound of ship + owner. Ship comes from Proto-Germanic *skipą, from PIE *skei- 'to cut, split' (perhaps because early ships were hollowed-out logs). Own comes from Proto-Germanic *aiganaz 'possessed', from PIE *aik- 'to be master of'. So a shipowner is literally the owner of a ship. Related: owner, ownership, shipyard.
