The origin of the word Tycoon
Tycoon: The word tycoon has its origin in the Japanese word taikun, which was a title for the Shogun - the Commander-in-chief of the Japanese army. The word entered the English language in the second half of the nineteenth century and soon came to be used for business and industry leaders.
Today the word Tycoon is generally associated (but not limited to) with a businessperson or industry leader of great wealth and power.
