Traffic \Traf"fic\, n. [Cf. F. trafic, It. traffico, Sp.
   tr['a]fico, tr['a]fago, Pg. tr['a]fego, LL. traficum,
   trafica. See {Traffic}, v.]
   1. Commerce, either by barter or by buying and selling;
      interchange of goods and commodities; trade.

            A merchant of great traffic through the world.
                                                  --Shak.

            The traffic in honors, places, and pardons.
                                                  --Macaulay.

   Note: This word, like trade, comprehends every species of
         dealing in the exchange or passing of goods or
         merchandise from hand to hand for an equivalent, unless
         the business of relating may be excepted. It signifies
         appropriately foreign trade, but is not limited to
         that.
