Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'market' (derived from Latin 'mercatus', meaning 'trade' or 'marketplace', via Old French and Middle English) and 'rate' (from Late Latin 'rata [pars]', meaning 'fixed or calculated proportion'). Together, the compound phrase emerged in modern economic discourse during the late 18th to 19th centuries to describe prices established dynamically through the forces of supply and demand in an open market.
