market
Where vendors gather
Market designates a place where goods or services are bought, sold, and traded.
You go to a farmer’s market to buy food; you invest in the stock market to acquire securities.
Some markets have no central location, but exist as economic activity of a certain kind (housing market).
To market something is to bring it to the attention of the public with the idea of selling it.
If you’re in the market for something, you want it and may plan to buy it.
On the market means that the thing is for sale.
