To negotiate or argue back and forth over the price of something, trying to pay less.
Haggle likely comes from a Scandinavian source, possibly related to 'hag' (chop or hack), suggesting the back-and-forth cutting down of prices. It appeared in English around the 1500s.
Haggling is still the default shopping method in most of the world's markets—it's only in modern industrialized countries with fixed prices that haggling seems unusual, which shows how recent price tags actually are!
