A place where goods are kept and sold to customers.
From Old French “estor,” meaning provisions or supplies, from “estorer,” to equip or furnish. It first meant a supply of goods, then the place where such goods were kept.
A store is like a public closet where everyone can borrow things—but only if they pay. Online ‘stores’ kept the idea but dropped the walls, turning the whole internet into a kind of endless shopping street.
