Things that someone owns; items that belong to a person.
From Latin 'possidere' (to occupy, own), from 'potis' (able, powerful). The concept of possession is tied to power and control in its very etymology.
Historians have shown that the concept of 'possessions' changed dramatically during the Industrial Revolution—people shifted from owning mainly land to owning manufactured goods, completely transforming what wealth meant.
