the.com/vendor
The middleman who turns your need into someone else's invoice, smiling the whole time.
means A person or company that sells goods or services, especially one supplying a business or operating a stall.
from From Anglo-French and Latin vendere, 'to sell,' itself a contraction of venum dare — literally 'to give for sale,' where venum meant 'a thing for sale.' English borrowed it through the language of law and commerce, where a 'vendor' was formally the party selling, paired with the 'vendee' who bought. From courtroom contracts it spread outward to anyone hawking goods, from street carts to software firms.
