, 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.
A wholesaler is basically the 'origin' (manufacturer, etc.) of goods. The distributor is the person or business who buys goods from the wholesaler and sells goods to a dealerâ¦. A dealer is the person or business who sells goods to the public (me and you). Making the world better, one answer at a time.
