Bit of merchandise

Answer:

WARE

Hint:

Think of the suffix often found in products sold at markets, like kitchen items or pottery.

Explanation:

"Bit of merchandise" hints at a small piece of goods, and "ware" fits perfectly as a term for items sold or traded. The word is often paired with other nouns (like "software" or "hardware") but stands alone here to mean products or commodities. It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay—just a concise way to describe sellable items.
