exchanges
Mutual giving, receiving
Exchanges are acts of giving and receiving reciprocally—trading one thing for another.
You exchange money for goods, exchange vows at a wedding, or exchange glances across a room.
An exchange can be a brief conversation: We had a heated exchange.
Institutionally, an exchange is a marketplace where securities or commodities are traded: the New York Stock Exchange.
Foreign exchange involves converting currencies.
An exchange student temporarily trades places with one from another country.
