chapmann.

Brit. /ˈtʃapmən/, U.S.

/ˈtʃæpmən/

Forms: α. Old English céapemann, cepemann, cypemann, cypemann, Middle English chepmon, Middle English cæpmon, Middle English chepman; β. Middle English chapmon, Middle English– chapman, ( Orm. chappmann, 1500s shapman).

Etymology: Old English céapmann = Old High German choufman , (Old High German, Middle High German koufman ), German kaufmann , Middle Dutch, Dutch koopman , West Germanic type *kaupmann ; < kaup , Old High German chouph , Old Saxon côp , Old English céap barter, business, dealing + mann man. Old English had also the by-forms cýp- , cýpe- , cépemann founded on the verb cíępan , cýpan , cípan to sell ( < West Germanic *kaupjan ); see cheap v. The normal Middle English representation of Old English céapmann was chepman (with vowel shortened by position); but sometimes, in Old English ea, eo, e blended with a preceding palatal, leaving a or o as the vowel, hence the surviving form chapman.

a. A man whose business is buying and selling; a merchant, trader, dealer. Obsolete or archaic.
