Bazaar

A bazaar ( _fa. بازار), ( _tr. pazar) is a permanent merchandising area, marketplace, or street of shops where goods and services are exchanged or sold. The word derives from the Persian word "bāzār", the etymology of which goes back to the Pahlavi word "baha-char" (بهاچار), meaning "the place of prices". [cite web
