    Equity refers to the amount of the property that you have actually paid for. For example, you buy a house for $100,000 and you give a down payment of $20,000, Then you have $20,000 worth of equity.

    Got this definition from the net..

    Equity is....

    Ownership interest in a corporation in the form of common stock or preferred stock. It also refers to total assets minus total liabilities, in which case it is also referred to as shareholder's equity or net worth or book value. In real estate, it is the difference between what a property is worth and what the owner owes against that property (i.e. the difference between the house value and the remaining mortgage or loan payments on a house).

    Equity is a very wide concept if you are trying to study or learn about it from a perspective of investment or planning to invest it in some company.But if you just want to know the simple meaning then equity is used when referring to an ownership interest in a business. Examples include stockholders’ equity or owner’s equity.

    What is the menaing of the term equity?

    Equity is roughly the amount of money pooled in by different members in order to generate the required capital to start a company. The total capital tells the worth of the company and the owners are called as shareholders and the shares are known as equities. So basically equities are also the financial instruments that help in attracting investors in order to raise the company’s market value.
