Word origin
The word 'dealer' originated from the Middle English 'dele', meaning 'part, portion'. Over time, it evolved to refer to someone who distributes goods or services. In the context of cards, the term 'dealer' emerged from the idea of someone dealing out cards in a game. The association with illegal drug trade came about in the 20th century with the rise of drug trafficking.
