RETAIL

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 201 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RETAIL , the
sale
  of goods or commodities in small quantities to the immediate consumer, opposed to a
sale
  wholesale or in
gross
 . The O. Fr. retaille, from which the word is taken, meant a piece cut off, from tailler, to cut, Med. Lat. taleare, Lat. talea, a rod, cutting for planting. The
English
  meaning appears in Anglo-
French
  and in the
Italian
  retaglio, selling by the piece. The other meaning of " retail," to repeat a
story
 , is a transferred sense of an early meaning, " to sell at second hand." The Latin source is also seen in the related words "
entail
 ," " tailor," " detail " and " tally."
