1、trade 是汉萨同盟商人带进英国的中低地德语,原义"航道、路径",词根和 tread(踩)、trot(小跑)同族——字面就是"踩出来的路"。走的路变常干的行当,行当再变买卖。
2、trade wind 信风存着这个老义:风向固定得像走在固定航道上,做买卖正靠这路风跑船。trade union 工会、trade war 贸易战一路都是行当义。
3、两组辨析各记一句:deal 口语成交、trade 普通贸易、bargain 谈妥价钱、commerce 大规模买卖、business 综合商业;职业一族 work 泛任何活计、occupation 中性泛指、job 具体岗位、trade 靠熟练手艺体力、profession 要专门训练的脑力行当、career 终身志业。读 /treɪd/。

英语词源

trade
trade: [14] Trade originally meant ‘way, track’. Not until the 16th century did the modern sense ‘buying and selling’ emerge, via ‘regular path followed by someone’ and ‘business pursued by someone’. Etymologically, it amounts to a ‘trodden’ path; for it was borrowed from Middle Low German trade ‘track’, which goes back ultimately to the prehistoric Germanic base *trad-, *tred-, source also of English tread and trot.
=> tread, trot
trade (n.)
late 14c., "path, track, course of action," introduced by the Hanse merchants, from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German trade "track, course" (probably originally of a ship), cognate with Old English tredan (see tread (v.)).

Sense of "one's habitual business" (1540s) developed from the notion of "way, course, manner of life" (mid-15c.); sense of "buying and selling, exchange of commodities" is from 1550s. Meaning "act of trading" is from 1829. Trade-name is from 1821; trade-route is from 1873; trade-war is from 1899. Trade union is attested from 1831. Trade wind (1640s) has nothing to do with commerce, but preserves the obsolete sense of "in a habitual or regular course."
trade (v.)
1540s, "to tread a path," from trade (n.). Meaning "to occupy oneself (in something)" is recorded from c. 1600. Meaning "to barter" is by 1793. The U.S. sports team sense of "to exchange one player for another" is attested from 1899. Related: Traded; trading. To trade down is attested from 1942; trade up from 1959. Trade places "exchange situations" is from 1917. Trading post is recorded from 1796. Trading stamp, given by merchants and exchangeable for goods, is from 1897.
