, Just love English Grammar. A word which is spelt and pronounced like another word but which has a different meaning is called Homonym. For example, hail(to describe somebody or something as being special or good) and hail( small balls of ice that fall as rain) and hail(to call to somebody to gain their attention).
Wholesale definition, the sale of goods in quantity, as to retailers or jobbers, for resale (opposed to retail). See more.
Person or firm that buys large quantity of goods from various producers or vendors, warehouses them, and resells to retailers. Wholesalers who carry only non-competing goods or lines are called distributors. Use 'wholesaler' in a Sentence.
