discussing something with someone in order to reach an agreement
From Latin negotiatus, past participle of negotiari 'to carry on business', from negotium 'business' (neg- 'not' + otium 'leisure')
The word literally means 'not at leisure' - ancient Romans saw business dealings as the opposite of relaxation time. Pretty relatable when you think about those marathon contract discussions!
