Synonyms of "Possess" and their differences
Q:
possess ve own arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
‘Own’ is a word of Germanic/old English origin, while ‘possess’ is of Latin origin and entered the English vocabulary via Norman French after the Norman conquest in 1066.
There are lots of cases like this where English has two words with the same meaning, one of Germanic origin and one of Latin/French origin.
Usually, the Latin/French one is of a higher register (posher, fancier etc) while the Germanic word is more commonly used in everyday speech. That is the case here - the majority of the time, ‘own’ will be the right word to use.
There are a couple of semantic differences:
1. While ‘own’ is associated with objects, ‘possess’ can be used to indicate that someone has/doesn’t have a particular skill or quality. E.g. She possesses a remarkable resilience.
2. ‘Possess’ is also used to refer to someone being taken over by the devil or an evil spirit - e.g. ‘She was possessed by the devil.’
