Etymology
The term 'wholesale' originates from the Middle English word 'wholes', which means 'to sell in large quantities'. The prefix 'whole' suggests selling entire stocks or volumes as opposed to retailing, which typically involves selling items individually or in smaller amounts. In the late 15th century, the usage began to distinguish between the different methods of trade and commerce. It was fully established in the late 19th century with the growth of industrialization and the formation of large-scale distribution networks. The concept facilitated the rise of department stores and modern retailing, where products could be bought in bulk and then sold in smaller quantities to individual consumers.
