🌳Etymology
Origin
Stock originates from Germanic roots meaning the trunk or stem of a tree, particularly referring to the main wooden post or log. Over time, the meaning evolved to denote a supply or store of goods, and when combined with the preposition 'with', the phrasal verb 'stock with' developed to mean 'to supply or fill something with a quantity of goods or items'.
Breakdown
stock (a supply or inventory of goods) + with (preposition indicating accompaniment or means), forming a phrasal verb meaning to furnish or supply completely.
