price

noun PREH-syoh Common

Origin: From Latin pretium, 'price, value.'

Usage Note

Precio is the standard word for price in commerce. Common collocations include precio de venta (selling price), precio al por mayor (wholesale price), and a cualquier precio ('at any price, no matter the cost'). Do not confuse with premio (prize/award) — they share a Latin ancestor but have diverged completely in meaning.
