A purveyor is someone who supplies goods â often food or drinks. If you're a seafood purveyor, you will always smell a bit fishy â which is no surprise, considering that you sell cod and haddock all day long. A purveyor can be someone who provides food or drinks, as in the popcorn purveyor who walks up and down through the stands of a baseball game trying to peddle his salty treats.
