The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
A word is commonly used to describe one who travels about retailing small wares. It carries the idea of pettiness as respects the character of the business transacted. The original root of the word is "ped," meaning "basket" in old English and descriptive of the receptacle in which a peddler carries his goods about for sale.
