traveling merchant
Roving goods seller
A traveling merchant is a seller who moves from place to place rather than operating from a fixed shop.
Historically, such merchants brought goods to remote communities, trading from wagons or pack animals along established routes.
The term now appears mostly in historical contexts, fantasy games, and stories: The traveling merchant arrived at the village with exotic spices and fabrics.
