The word "purchase" hasn't always had the same meaning as it does now. We use it interchangeably with the word "buy."
But "purchase" used to mean the act of searching for things to buy. Goods were not always as available as they are today; it took great effort to travel long distances in hopes of finding what you needed. And often you returned home without it.
The word "purchase" actually comes from the Old French and it means "seeking ardently."
