vend
Offer for sale
Vend means to sell, typically in a commercial or formal context.
The word appears most often in compounds: a vending machine dispenses snacks, a vendor sells goods at a market or stadium.
On its own, vend sounds legalistic or old-fashioned: licensed to vend alcohol.
The noun vend, meaning a sale, is rare outside legal contexts.
