How Do You Spell ARBITRATE?

Pronunciation: [ˈɑːbɪtɹˌe͡ɪt] (IPA)

The word "arbitrate" (/ˈɑrbɪtreɪt/) is spelled with an "i" in the second syllable, despite the fact the commonly used root verb "arbitr" only has an "e" in that position. This might be a result of the word's etymology, which traces its origin to the Latin word "arbitrari" meaning "to judge, decide, or think"; the "i" in "arbitrate" may have been added to reflect the Latin spelling. Regardless of its origins, correct spelling and pronunciation is essential when conducting legal arbitration.

ARBITRATE Meaning and Definition

1. Arbitrate is a verb that refers to the act of settling a dispute or disagreement between two or more parties by means of an impartial third party or arbitrator. The process involves bringing the conflicting parties together in order to obtain a fair and just resolution to the conflict. The arbitrator, who is typically chosen based on their expertise and neutrality, acts as a mediator and reviews the facts, evidence, and arguments presented by both sides. Their main role is to make a final and binding decision that will effectively resolve the dispute, often referred to as an arbitration award.

   Arbitration is commonly used as an alternative method to litigation in both domestic and international contexts. It is employed in various fields, including business, law, labor, and marital disputes. The process is considered to be more informal and expedient compared to traditional court proceedings, often resulting in quicker and more cost-effective resolutions.

   By engaging in arbitration, the conflicting parties willingly submit themselves to the authority of the arbitrator to ultimately resolve their disagreement. This method of dispute resolution allows for a neutral party to independently evaluate the merits of the case and provide an unbiased decision. The arbitrator's role is crucial in ensuring that both parties receive a fair hearing and that justice is achieved.

2. To hear and decide in a disputed matter; to determine.
