販賣(上反万反賤買貴賣也下埋敗反正體從出從買今俗用從土訛略也)。

Peddling and selling (販賣: the first is [pronounced] *fan* + *wan* [fàn], meaning buying cheap and selling dear. The second is *mai* + *bai* [mài]; its orthodox form takes 'to go out' [出] and 'to buy' [買]. Vulgar usage nowadays writes it with 'earth' [土], which is a corrupt simplification).
