---

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. ☞ 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.
