deal
Distribute the cards
Deal centers on distribution and arrangement.
To deal cards is to distribute them; a dealer handles this task.
The meaning extends to distribution generally: Who's dealing?
A deal is an agreement or transaction: We made a deal, What's the deal with parking?
To deal with something is to handle or address it: I'll deal with this later.
A great deal or good deal means a large amount: a great deal of trouble.
As an adjective, deal refers to pine or fir wood, especially planks—a separate word from the same spelling.
