merchantable
Ready for market
Merchantable describes goods fit for sale—meeting the quality standards a reasonable buyer would expect.
The term appears mainly in legal and commercial contexts: The contract guaranteed all merchandise would be merchantable.
Goods that are damaged, defective, or otherwise unsaleable fail to meet the standard of merchantability.
