1º_ It is a market practice by which a company monopolizes the offer of a product or service exclusively. By extension it is used in other areas, to indicate the exercise of an activity that corresponds to a single authority. It comes to us from the Latin monopol?um, which evidently takes from the Greek 956; 959; 957; 959; 960; 969; 955; 953; 959; 957; ( monopolion ) because it is formed by 956; 959; 957; 959; ( monkey "only, unique" ) 960; 969; 955; 949; 969; ( poléo "sell" ) . 2º_ 'Monopoly' (in the original English 'Monopoly') is a board game that simulates the sale of real estate. It is based on the game The Landlord's Game (Elizabeth Magie, 1903), which directly or indirectly inspired others besides this one, which is the American version created by Charles Darrow in 1935.
