Picture an open square on market day. Stalls stand in a row, nobody is hidden, and a customer walks along the row comparing one stall with the next before choosing. Every use of this word keeps that row: the square itself, the whole world of companies competing side by side, a screen where many sellers are listed together, and even a page where opinions stand next to each other waiting to be picked.
