Wikipedia
A monopoly (from Greek monos / μονος + polein / πωλειν) exists when a specific individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it. (This is in contrast to a monopsony which relates to a single entity's control over a market to purchase a good or service. And contrasted with oligopoly where a few entities exert considerable influence over an industry) Monopolies are thus characterised by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods.
