Etymology
بائِع is the active participle of the verb باعَ (yabīʿu), 'to sell,' built from the Semitic triliteral root ب-ي-ع. The root carries the core sense of exchange or trade, and the فاعِل (fāʿil) pattern used here marks the doer of the action, so بائِع literally means 'one who sells.' The same root gives Arabic its everyday word for a sale, بَيْع.
