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.
