Barysh - this is what? What are the meanings of the word

Often in conversations between people of trade and business you can hear the word "profits". But what does it mean and how to apply it correctly? From what language did this word come to us and how long has it been used in Russian?

The role of words in trade and business

This term began to be used in Russian around the middle of the 16th century. It began to apply a group of people engaged in international trade and exchange. It is believed that the profit is a word borrowed from the Turkic language. But it had no connection with profit, and yet it is this value that is given to him now. In Turkish, the word baris means reconciliation, in Tatar - the course of events, in Kazakh "barys" - this is the final destination or direction.

However, in the trading acts of the northern cities of Arkhangelsk and Novgorod, the term "profit" is used already in the sense of "reaching an agreement in price in the contract of sale."

Later, with the development of trade routes, merchants bought goods that were cheap, and sold it in another place where it was in demand and was valued much higher. That's the difference and began to be called a profit, that is, the profit that the merchant received on the price difference.

To date, use the word, giving it a negative color, because in the 80-90s so-called easy money, which came because of speculation and cheating from scarce goods. But if you abstract away from history, then profits are profit, a financial gain that can be obtained from any transaction.

In geography

Another meaning of the word "profits" is the name of one of the numerous rivers of the Russian Federation. It flows in the Ulyanovsk region and is the right tributary of the river Sura (the Volga basin). On the bank of this river there is a small town, little known, he is called Barysh. It was built in 1954, the administrative center of Baryshsky district. In 1998, it was home to 21600 people.

There is a river of the same name in Ukraine, flows in the Ternopil region and is a left tributary of the Dniester (flows into the Black Sea). Barysh stands on its bank - it is a village with a population of only 2500 people (at the time of the census at the beginning of the 21st century). It is the administrative center of the Baryshsky village council.
