A fair is an exhibition of products or services in a specific area of activity held with the objective of promoting business.

If your question concerns the term 'fair' itself, and where that came from - the etymology - then 'fair' was, in the aforementioned respect, probably derived from the Latin verb 'ferre', which means 'to carry/bring'. A fair typically is a place where products and services were 'brought' to.
