Past tense of haggle; disputed or negotiated persistently about price or terms.
From 'haggle,' which may derive from Middle Low German 'hagelen' or related Scandinavian words. The sense developed from 'to chop or hack' to 'to cut down by negotiation.'
Haggling is dying in Western culture as fixed prices became standard, but in Middle Eastern bazaars it's still an art form where the price is just a conversation starter.
