Products or goods sent from one country to be sold in another country; or the act of sending goods abroad for sale.
From Latin 'ex-' (out) plus 'portare' (to carry). The word emerged in trade languages during the 1600s as international commerce expanded.
The word 'export' is literally 'carry out,' but modern trade reveals something fascinating: countries often export raw materials cheaply and import finished products expensively, a pattern of exploitation that economists trace back to colonial systems.
