e-tail
Internet-based shopping industry
E-tail is retail conducted over the internet—electronic retail.
The term emerged in the 1990s alongside e-commerce and e-business, following the same pattern of prefixing "e-" to traditional business activities.
Amazon started as an e-tail bookstore.
The word has largely given way to "online retail" or simply "e-commerce" in common usage.
