The word "portfolio" originates from Italian portafoglio, combining portare (to carry) and foglio (sheet). It originally referred to a case for carrying loose papers or artwork. Over time, it expanded metaphorically to describe collections of investments (early 20th century) and business offerings (mid-20th century), retaining the core idea of "carrying grouped items."
