barterv.

Brit. /ˈbɑːtə/, U.S. /ˈbɑrdər/
Etymology: Apparently a derivative formation < barat, barrat v.; compare sense of French barater ‘to cheat, cousen..to trucke, scourse, barter, exchange’ (Cotgrave), in Godefroy = ‘troquer, échanger’ under date 1373, Italian barattare ‘to barter, trucke, chop and change one thing for another’ (Florio 1598), Spanish baratar ‘to sell cheape, or deceive.’ With the final -er suffix5, compare batter, falter, stutter; but an intermediate form *barat-er connecting barat and barter has not been found.
1. transitive. To give (a commodity) in exchange for something taken as of equivalent value; distinguished from purchase and sell, which imply that money is given for the commodity. to barter away: to dispose of by barter; cf. also 2. Const. for (with obsolete) a thing, with a person.
