the.com/seller
the only optimist who calls hope a price and refuses to lower it
means A person who offers something for sale, especially the one setting the price in a transaction.
from From the Old English verb 'sellan,' which originally meant 'to give' or 'to hand over' — and only later narrowed to 'hand over for money.' The '-er' suffix marks the one who does the doing, so a seller is literally 'one who hands things over,' a sense related to Old Norse 'selja' and the Gothic 'saljan,' both circling the same idea of giving and delivering.
