To clearly say what must be done or what conditions must be met, especially in a contract or agreement.
From Latin “stipulari,” meaning to make a formal promise or bargain. It was used in Roman law to describe officially setting terms.
When lawyers ‘stipulate’ something, they’re basically saying, “This part is non‑negotiable.” The word sounds fancy, but it just means drawing a clear line in the sand before anyone signs on.
