A variant or archaic form of 'emporium'; a marketplace or center of trade.
A shortened or variant form of 'emporium', possibly influenced by words like 'factory' or 'memory' in English word formation. This is largely obsolete in modern English.
This short form of 'emporium' is practically extinct in modern English, but it shows how medieval merchants spoke more casually—they'd say 'Let's meet at the empory' just as we'd say 'Let's meet at the mall'!
