owns

Holds the deed

Owns means to possess or have as property: She owns three houses.

Beyond legal possession, owns extends to responsibility—you own your mistakes by accepting them.

In slang, to own someone is to defeat or humiliate them decisively: He totally owned you in that argument.

To own a skill or quality is to embrace it confidently: She really owns that look.
