Barter

/ˈbɑɹ.tɚ/ verb, noun

To trade goods or services with someone else without using money as exchange.

From Old French 'barater' meaning 'to deceive or cheat,' but in English it came to mean direct trade. The connection may be that early traders needed to haggle and debate the fairness of trades.
