The word "negotiation" is derived from the Latin word "negotiatio", which comes from the verb "negotiari" meaning "to carry on business". The Latin term has its roots in the combination of "negotium" (business, occupation) with the suffix "-atio" denoting "act of" or "state of". In essence, negotiation originally referred to the act or process of conducting business transactions or deals. Over time, the term has broadened its meaning and is now commonly used to describe the process of reaching an agreement or settlement through discussion, compromise, and bargaining.
