Word origin

The term 'retailing' originated from the Old French word 'retaillier', which meant 'to cut off, clip, pare, divide'. It first appeared in the English language in the 14th century, referring to the act of cutting off or paring. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent the sale of goods in small quantities to the public. Retailing has grown to become a major sector of the economy, with various formats such as brick-and-mortar stores, online platforms, and mobile commerce.
