Holding the deed
Owning is possessing something as property: owning a home, owning land.
It extends to acknowledging responsibility: owning your mistakes, owning up to what you did.
In slang, owning someone means defeating or humiliating them decisively: He totally owned that guy in the debate.
To own a situation is to dominate it with confidence.
