Meaning & History
Derived from the Italian noun comperatore meaning "buyer, purchaser", which in turn is ultimately derived from the Italian verb comperare meaning "to buy, to purchase". The former word is archaic, whilst the latter word is still in use but rare. The modern, commonly used forms in Italian are respectively compratore and comprare.
