wholesale

Tính từTrạng từNgoại động từ[U] Không đếm được

The term evokes an image of bulk and volume, shifting the focus from individual consumer needs to the logistics of supply chains. It carries a connotation of efficiency and reduced cost through scale, making it the standard term for B2B commerce where the goal is redistribution rather than end-use. When used as an adverb, the word takes on a more aggressive or indiscriminate tone. It suggests a total, sweeping action that ignores fine details or individual exceptions, often appearing in negative contexts like wholesale slaughter or wholesale changes to a policy, where the scale of the action is overwhelming.

Used as a general business category or industry sector, such as when discussing the growth of wholesale in the region.
