Giving and receiving
Exchanging is trading one thing for another.
People exchange goods, money, services, or information: They spent the afternoon exchanging stories.
The word often implies reciprocity—both parties give and receive: exchanging glances across the room, exchanging vows at the altar.
In finance, exchanging currencies converts one to another at a set rate.
