Moat

When we say a business has a good moat, we are saying that it has a high ability to protect its market share. An example of a company with a good moat would be a government company operating in a sector that is reserved for the government.

Trivia: The term originates from โ€˜moats around castles,โ€™ which are deep ditches either dry or filled with water that surround castles and are meant to be a protective barrier against intruders.
