Trade ::
Trade (v.) The
business which a
person has
learned, and which he
engages in, for
procuring subsistence, or for
profit; occupation; especially, mechanical employment as
distinguished from the
liberal arts, the
learned professions, and
agriculture; as, we speak of the trade of a
smith, of a
carpenter, or
mason, but not now of the trade of a
farmer, or a
lawyer, or a
physician..
