Definition
The act of trading goods or services directly with someone else without using money.
Etymology
Present participle of 'barter,' derived from Middle English and Old French origins. The gerund form (-ing) transforms the verb into a noun describing the ongoing practice of exchanging valuables.
Kelly Says
Bartering predates currency by thousands of years and is still the primary economic system in communities hit by financial collapse—it's a human economic superpower that never disappears.
