plural of dealer
"The new car dealership has several dealers specializing in luxury European models."
In plain English: Dealers are people who sell goods, especially illegal drugs, to other people for money.
"The car dealers sold hundreds of new vehicles at the annual auto show."
Usage: Dealers refers to people who sell or trade specific goods, such as car dealers or drug dealers. Use this term when identifying individuals engaged in commerce rather than referring to the act of dealing itself.
Derived from Old French dealer, this term originally meant one who deals out cards or distributes goods. It entered English in the 16th century to describe merchants and later evolved into its modern sense of someone involved in illicit trade.
