  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Vend  \Vend\,  v.  t.  [imp.  &  p.  p.  {Vended};  p.  pr  &  vb  n. 
  {Vending}.]  [F.  vendre,  L.  vendere,  from  venum  dare;  venus 
  sale  +  dare  to  give  See  2d  {Venal},  {Date},  time.] 
  To  transfer  to  another  person  for  a  pecuniary  equivalent;  to 
  make  an  object  of  trade  to  dispose  of  by  sale;  to  sell  as 
  to  vend  goods;  to  vend  vegetables. 
 
  Note:  Vend  differs  from  barter.  We  vend  for  money;  we  barter 
  for  commodities.  Vend  is  used  chiefly  of  wares, 
  merchandise,  or  other  small  articles,  not  of  lands  and 
  tenements. 
 
  From  WordNet  r  1.6  [wn]: 
 
  vending 
  n  :  selling  goods  for  a  living  [syn:  {peddling},  {hawking},  {vendition}]
