== Etymology == The word "negotiation" originated in the early 15th century from the [[Old French]] ''negociacion'' from [[Latin]] ''negotiatio'' from ''neg''- "no" and ''otium'' "leisure".<ref name=:2>{{cite web|url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/negotiation|title=negotiation|website=Online Etymology Dictionary |language=en |access-date=2019-08-19}}</ref> These terms mean "business, trade, traffic". By the late 1570s negotiation had the definition, "to communicate in search of mutual agreement". With this new introduction and this meaning, it showed a shift from "doing business" to "bargaining about" business.<ref name=:2/>
