Origin

Late Middle English (as a noun denoting a member of a religious order who held property): from late Latin proprietarius 'proprietor', from proprietas (see property).

property from Middle English:
Latin proprius, ‘one's own, special, particular’, source of proper (Middle English), developed an abstract noun proprietas ‘ownership’ which is not only the source of property, but of proprietary (Late Middle English), proprietor (mid 16th century), and propriety (Late Middle English). Appropriate, from a Latin word using ad- ‘to’, here in the sense ‘making [one's own]’ is from the same root.
