Business - வியாபாரம் (from Sanskrit)
Original Tamil word - வணிகம்/வாணிகம்
The common word for business used today வியாபாரம் comes from the Sanskrit/Hindi word Vyapar. The word for a businessman/businesswomen is from this word : Vyapari (வியாபாரி).
However, the bonafide Tamil word for business is வணிகம் and the people who do business are called வணிகர் (வணிகன் for male; வணிகையர் for female)
I am sharing a blog that talks about the history of Tamil வாணியர்; it tells us the various business folk present in the Tamil community during the ancient Sangam time.
