Definición 2
Also in market trading but in a pejorative sense, artificially 'marry' buy and sell orders at the same price and thus at no real cost to either party and to no valid commercial end. This transaction is usually carried out in collusion with another trader but sometimes on own account. Its purpose is to give the illusion of trading volume, attract the attention of the market to the stock or other security concerned and, depending on the transaction price, drive the displayed price up or down.

Nota
There are grounds for thinking that the verb match shares a common Indo-European root that evolved through Gothic into the Old English verb 'gemæccan', which subsequently shed the first syllable 'ge' to become 'mæccan', pronounced 'matchen', with the core meaning of to mate. The same verb may have been used by the Visigoth landlords, who put much of arable Roman Iberia to pasture. Such a hypothesis would explain the very un-Latin 'ch' sound in 'machar' and the associated noun 'macho'.
