     Because marketers had to provide their own containers, the oval shopping basket was useful for holding odd-shaped staples.

• marketeer

• mark tree, remarket

From English market, from Old Northern French market (“commerce; marketplace; trade”) from Latin mercatus (“market; trade; trading; buying and selling”), from the past participle of mercari (“to deal in; to buy; to trade”), from merx (“merchandise; wares”), from the genitive mercis, from Proto-Italic *merk-, from Etruscan.

• IPA^(key): /maʁ.kə.te/

marketer (anglicism)

1. (transitive) To market. « Mettre en marché » is preferred.

This verb is conjugated mostly like the regular -er verbs (parler and chanter and so on), but the -e- /ə/ of the second-to-last syllable becomes -è- /ɛ/ when the next vowel is a silent or schwa -e-. For example, in the third-person singular present indicative, we have il markète rather than *il markete. Other verbs conjugated this way include lever and mener. Related but distinct conjugations include those of appeler and préférer.
