1 published definition

Turquito

A door-to-door salesman who sells clothing, linens, and appliances on credit, typically collected in weekly or monthly installments. They historically traveled on foot carrying suitcases. (In Venezuela, the term is a common nickname for Middle Eastern immigrants who pioneered this type of retail).

The Arab, Italian, and Portuguese merchants who immigrated to Venezuela after World War II fleeing the atrocities committed in their countries made a living here through honest work.
