What does TRADE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The activity of buying, selling or exchanging goods and services between people, businesses or countries.
Trade can happen between two neighbours swapping vegetables just as easily as between nations shipping containers of manufactured goods, since the basic idea is the same exchange of value in both cases. Economies grow largely through trade, because it lets people specialise in what they do well and obtain everything else from others rather than producing it all themselves. The word also narrows to mean a particular skilled occupation, as when someone learns a trade such as carpentry, showing how far the core sense of exchange has stretched over time.
How TRADE is used
Common in economics, business and everyday speech, and also used for a skilled manual occupation.
- The two countries signed a new trade agreement.
- International trade brought new goods into the local market.
- He learned his trade as an apprentice electrician.
- Farmers used to trade grain for tools at the fair.
- The trade union met to discuss the new contract.
