Relating to or characteristic of auctions or the practice of selling by auction.
Derived from 'auction' (from Latin 'auctio') with the adjectival suffix '-ary', indicating a relationship to the process of auctioning.
Medieval and Renaissance merchants developed the auction system as a way to sell goods fairly—the highest bidder gets it, which theoretically prevents favoritism, though wealthy people still usually win!
