Definition for MART
MART, n. [from market.]
- A place of sale or traffick. It was formerly applied chiefly to markets and fairs in cities and towns, but it has now a more extensive application. We say, the United States are a principal mart for English goods; England and France are the marts of American cotton.
- Bargain; purchase and sale. [Not used.] Shak.
