Etymology
The term 'salesman' is derived from the compound word 'sale' and 'man', with its first recorded use dating back to the early 20th century. 'Sale' traces its origins to the late Middle English word 'salen', coming from the Old English 'sรฆlan', which means to give, to sell. The addition of 'man' designates a person engaged in this profession. Over the years, the concept of a salesman has evolved from a mere transactional role to one involving significant relationship-building and customer service skills, reflecting the changing dynamics of commerce and consumer behavior.
