shopman

/ʃˈɑpmən/ noun B2

a salesman in a store

Word Origin A shopman is simply a man who works in or runs a shop. Shop comes from Old English sceoppa 'booth, shed', related to shape (something shaped or built). Man is from Old English mann 'human being'. It's a straightforward compound, but it's a great example of how Old English built words by combining everyday terms. The same shop gives us shopkeeper, shopper, and shoplift.
