The answer

STOCK

What stock means

A supply of goods kept on hand for sale or use, or shares of ownership in a company.

Where the word comes from

From Old English "stoc," meaning a log or post, later extended to mean a supply of goods kept on hand. The sense of a merchant's inventory evolved naturally from the idea of stored materials. By the 1600s, "stock" came to mean a share in a company's capital, especially after the rise of joint-stock trading companies. The word ultimately traces back to Proto-Germanic roots related to cutting or chopping wood.
