TeachMeFinance.com - explain Combine historic definition... Combine -- An abbreviation or contraction of the word combination; it applies to a combination of separate concerns or interests by an understanding or compact, as a pool (see Pool), but not by an actual consolidation. To an actual consolidation when the purpose is to control a particular industry or business the term trust is generally applied. The term ring is sometimes mistakenly used in place of combine ; specifically ring -refers to a clique or coterie of persons and not to a combination of concerns or interests. Combine is a newer term than either ring or trust and has been rather loosely used.
