HANDSEL

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 916 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HANDSEL , the O. Eng.
term
  for
earnest
  money; especially in
Scotland
  the first money taken at a market or
fair
 . The termination set is the modern " sell." " Hand " indicates, not a bargain by shaking hands, but the actual putting of the money into the hand. Handsets were also presents or earnests of good-will in the North; thus Handsel Monday, the first Monday in the year, an occasion for universal tipping,' is the equivalent of the
English
 
Boxing
  day.
