Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms
Vendere · Venundare · Mancipare
Vendere and venundare denote the selling of any thing as a mercantile act; but in vendere (ἀναδοῦναι) the disposing of the thing is the principal notion, the price merely secondary, in opp. to emere, like ἀποδόσθαι; in venundare, the previous having for sale, or offering for sale, is the principal notion, as in πιπράσκειν, πωλεῖν, ἀπεμπολᾶν; whereas mancipare denotes a juridical act, in consequence of which a thing is alienated, and, with all that belongs to it, transferred to another, in a legal form, as his property. (iv. 118.)
