handsale

handsale. Hist. A sale memorialized by shaking hands. • Over time, handsale also came to refer to the earnest money given immediately after the handshake. In some northern European countries, shaking hands was necessary to bind a bargain. This custom sometimes persists for oral contracts. The Latin phrase for handsale was venditio per mutuam manuum complexionem (“a sale by the mutual joining of hands”). — Also spelled handsel.
