price cut

Lowered selling amount

A price cut is a reduction in the cost of something offered for sale.

Retailers announce price cuts to attract customers; manufacturers implement price cuts to compete with rivals.

The airline's price cut on transatlantic flights sparked a fare war.

The term emphasizes deliberate lowering rather than gradual decline.
