Detailed catalogs or inventories of items, properties, or information, typically organized systematically for reference or sale.
From the verb 'list', originally meaning 'to lean to one side' (as in ships), which evolved to mean 'to enumerate in a row' by the 17th century. The noun form developed from the practice of writing items in vertical columns or 'lists'.
The journey from a ship 'listing' to starboard to 'listing' items for sale shows how English loves metaphorical connections - both involve things arranged in a particular order or direction, whether by wind and water or by human intention.
