可以想成兩個人隔著桌子，把東西來回遞：貨、錢、承諾。動詞 deal 就是那個「遞出去」的動作，加上 -ing 之後，變成這件事本身。這個字可以從兩個距離看。靠近看，你看到的是「怎麼遞」——公不公道、老不老實。退遠看，你看到的是「遞過幾次」——一次次往來疊起來，成了一份紀錄。From the word’s history
Recorded as Middle English delynge, from Old English dǣling: deal plus -ing, the act of dealing out.
來源記載這個字從中古英文 delynge、古英文 dǣling 來，等於 deal 加 -ing，也就是「分出去、遞出去」這個動作本身。這條線索正好對上上面的畫面。

往來的紀錄（退遠看）
同一個桌面，鏡頭往後拉：不再看單次動作，而是看這些年來回了多少次。複數 -s 就是這個「多次」的訊號。
