an exchange where a thing is given for use in return for cost during time

Rental (noun) means: an exchange where a thing is given for use in return for cost during time. It emerges from exchange, cost, time, give: exchange.trade transfers the thing for use while cost.economic sets the price and time.dimension limits the duration. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 19, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
