What Does This Mean?
The single account that owns a community server on platforms such as Discord. In Discord's permission model the owner automatically has every permission, regardless of roles or channel overwrites. It differs from server admin, which is any member granted the Administrator permission: an admin is a role the owner can hand out, while the owner is the top of the hierarchy.

""Only the server owner can hand the server over to someone else.""
LORE & ORIGIN
Discord's developer documentation states that the guild owner gets all permissions before roles or channel overwrites are considered, and that owners and Administrator holders are exempt from timeout restrictions. Wikipedia notes that servers are created by users for free and that roles designate the moderation team. Discord was publicly released on May 13, 2015. No dated first use of the phrase was found.
