\Vend\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Vended}; p. pr. & vb. n.
{Vending}.] [F. vendre, L. vendere, from venum dare; venus
sale + dare to give. See 2d {Venal}, {Date}, time.]
To transfer to another person for a pecuniary equivalent; to
make an object of trade; to dispose of by sale; to sell; as,
to vend goods; to vend vegetables.
Note: Vend differs from barter. We vend for money; we barter
for commodities. Vend is used chiefly of wares,
merchandise, or other small articles, not of lands and
tenements.
\Vend\, n.
1. The act of vending or selling; a sale.
2. The total sales of coal from a colliery. [Eng.]
