A bazaar is a merchandising area or marketplace 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 Middle Persian word baha-char (بهاچار), meaning "the place of prices".Although the current meaning of the word is believed to have originated in Persia, its use has spread and now has been accepted into the vernacular in countries around the world. In North America, the term can be used as a synonym for a "rummage sale", to describe charity fund raising events held by churches and other community organizations, in which donated, used goods, such as books, clothes, and household items are sold for low prices, or else the goods may be new, handcrafted or home-baked, as at a church's Christmas bazaar.
