Etymology: "Venders" is simply the plural of "vender," so its story is the story of that base word. "Vender" is an agent noun formed from the verb "vend," meaning to sell or offer goods for sale, and the same verb underlies the more familiar "vendor." The plural follows the regular English pattern of adding "-s," so each person or business that sells goods to the public is a "vender" in its own right, and several of them together make "venders."

Synonyms: sellers, merchants
