More About Vendor
What is a vendor?
A vendor is a person or business that sells something, as in The school lunch really improved after it changed food vendors.
A vendor is also a machine that dispenses items after you put money into it. It’s more often called a vending machine.
Example: The vendor told me that the box has a scratch, so she’s selling it cheap.
Where does vendor come from?
The first records of the term vendor come from around 1585. It ultimately comes from the Latin venditor. It combines vend, meaning “to sell something as a business’s main form of income” and the suffix –or, which creates nouns that denote a condition or property of a person.
When you hear the word vendor, you likely think of someone selling food or small items from a cart on a street corner or at an outdoor event, like a parade. When a business purchases products or services from another business, that second business is often referred to as a vendor. For example, when a business wants to create a food product involving tomatoes, the company that supplies the tomatoes will be the vendor, while the company that uses them is the buyer.
