Etymology 1

Deverbal from verkopen.

Noun

verkoop m (plural verkopen, no diminutive)

1. sale (exchange of goods)

   De verkoop van het nieuwe product overtrof alle verwachtingen. ― The sale of the new product exceeded all expectations.

Usage notes

• The first syllable may be stressed occasionally, particularly in the Netherlands, due to the influence of other similar nouns with stressed prefixes (inkoop, aankoop). This is uncommon in Belgium, and contrast other deverbals from words prefixed with ver- such as verloop, verderf. The same effect applies to the verb verkopen.
