About this kanji
The kanji 卸, pronounced as おろ and often used in the context of wholesale, primarily refers to the act of selling goods in bulk, typically to retailers. As a verb, 卸す (おろす) means 'to sell wholesale,' while the noun 卸売 (おろしうり) refers to 'wholesale.' You might also encounter terms like 卸値 (おろしね), meaning 'wholesale price,' and 卸売市場 (おろしうりしじょう), which translates to 'wholesale market.' A quick note: 卸 is often used in business and trade contexts, so understanding it can be really useful if you're dealing with commerce in Japan.
