Misnomers and Money

A broker is someone who buys and sells goods and assets for others. It is in the interest of the person who hires the broker for them to make the most amount of money possible.

So isn't it a bit odd that they are called a "broker?" Shouldn't they be called a "richer?"

I'm not going to hire a broker. That sounds masochistic.
