Explanation
A client is a person or company that receives professional services from another individual or business, often in exchange for money. For example, a lawyer’s client is the person they represent, or a software company’s client is the business using its services. Clients are different from customers: a customer usually buys products, while a client often receives longer-term, specialised services. The word is used in business, law, technology, and health. For example, a doctor’s client (or patient) relies on them for care. Building good relationships with clients is important for trust and success.
