Etymology

The word 'transact' comes from the Latin 'transactio', which is derived from 'transigere', meaning 'to drive through' or 'to complete'. The prefix 'trans-' means 'across' or 'beyond', and 'agere' means 'to do' or 'to drive'. The verb 'transact' originally appeared in English in the late 16th century. Over the centuries, it has evolved to encompass a range of activities involving business and commerce. The term emphasizes the completion of a process, particularly in a formal context involving legal transactions, agreements, and exchanges. As trade expanded with globalization, the use of 'transact' became increasingly common in business vocabulary.
