negotiation

noun neh-goh-tsyah-TSYOH-neh Rare

Origin: From Latin negotiatio, from negotiari 'to trade'.

Usage Note

Negoziazione is the formal process of negotiation, used in diplomatic, commercial, and legal contexts: tavolo di negoziazione ('negotiating table'), negoziazione salariale ('wage negotiation'). The related verb is negoziare and the agent noun is negoziatore. Do not confuse with negozio ('shop') — a false-friend trap for English speakers.
