DISCOUNTS Meaning and Definition

1. Discounts are price reductions offered on a specific item or service. They are a form of deduction from the regular retail price, enabling customers to obtain the product at a reduced cost. These price cuts are typically introduced by retailers or service providers with the goal of attracting customers and increasing sales. Discounts often come in various forms, such as percentage discounts, fixed amount discounts, or buy-one-get-one-free offers.

   Percentage discounts are calculated by subtracting a certain percentage from the original price, resulting in a reduced price for the customer. For example, a 20% discount on a $100 item would result in the customer paying only $80. Fixed amount discounts, on the other hand, involve deducting a specific amount from the original price. For instance, a $10 discount on a $50 shirt would allow the customer to purchase it for $40.

   Discounts can also be offered through promotions like buy-one-get-one-free, whereby a customer can purchase two items for the price of one. This marketing tactic encourages customers to make additional purchases or try out different products.

   Discounts serve as incentives for customers to choose a particular product or service over others, as the reduced price allows for greater affordability. They can be found in various retail sectors, including clothing, electronics, food, and services like travel or gym memberships. Discounts are usually temporary in nature and often have specific terms and conditions, such as expiration dates or purchase limits.

Etymology of DISCOUNTS

The word "discounts" originated from the Old French word "desconter". In turn, the Old French term evolved from the Latin word "discomputare", which combines "dis-" (meaning "apart" or "away") and "computare" (meaning "to count" or "reckon"). Thus, the etymology of "discounts" reflects the concept of subtracting or reducing the price or value of something.
