swap
Give, then receive
Swap is to exchange one thing for another: Let's swap seats, I'll swap you my apple for your cookie.
The noun is the exchange itself: a fair swap, a prisoner swap.
In computing, swap refers to moving data between memory and disk storage.
Swap meets are gatherings where people trade goods.
