Etymonline

Word Origin & History

baker

O.E. bæcere, from bacan "to bake" (see bake). Baker's dozen "thirteen" is from 1590s.

"These dealers [hucksters] ... on purchasing their bread from the bakers, were privileged by law to receive thirteen batches for twelve, and this would seem to have been the extent of their profits. Hence the expression, still in use, 'A baker's dozen.' " [H.T. Riley, "Liber Albus," 1859]

Matching Quote

"What it comes down to is this: the grocer, the butcher, the baker, the merchant, the landlord, the druggist, the liquor dealer, the policeman, the doctor, the city father and the politician—these are the people who make money out of prostitution, these are the real reapers of the wages of sin."
