Description: Someone who owned a shop that sold nearly everything. This would have meant not only basic foodstuffs (dry goods such as spices, pepper, sugar, and (later) cocoa, tea and coffee) but general household items. These items were bought in bulk, hence the term grocer from the French "grossier" meaning wholesaler. See also: Grocer.
