It means "deny" "leisure" - see Latin etymology below(*)
However, how about non-Latin Languages?
What is the equivalent in your country? What about the etymology?
(*) Latin Etymology: negotiation (n.)
early 15c., negotiacioun, "a dealing with people, trafficking," from Old French negociacion "business, trade," and directly from Latin negotiationem (nominative negotiatio) "business, traffic," noun of action from past participle stem of negotiari "carry on business, do business, act as a banker," from negotium "a business, employment, occupation, affair (public or private)," also "difficulty, pains, trouble, labor," literally "lack of leisure," from neg- "not" (from PIE root *ne- "not") + otium "ease, leisure," a word of unknown origin.
Arabic:
Negotiation =التفاوض= al-tafawod
Meaning: reaching an agreement for business

Murillo De Oliveira Dias
in my language Hindi
negotiation is मोल भाव (Mol bhaav)
Rohit Sadana, thanks for the answer. What does it mean? low context, such as getting things done, or high context such as in Japanese, to cross over?
Agreement, or organization of the process to get to an agreement. In Mexico and Latin America.
Murillo, in an African language, with a strong link to French, negotiation means 'd'accord', which translates to 'to come to an agreement'. Interesting set of word collections.
Negotiation: [nəˌɡōSHēˈāSH(ə)n]:parleying, deliberation(s), conference, debate, dialog, among others.
guys, meanings in Japanese and Arabic disappeared. Could reply?
Retrieved: تفاوض tafawud = business negotiation exchange
Investigating the etymology of Negotiation in Greek - Many thanks, Constantine!
Διαπραγμάτευση (Diapragmátefsi)
Δια = dia = through
ραγμά = pragma = business
Negotiation in Greek would mean through business.
Negotiation in Chinese (simplified) = 谈判 (Tánpàn)
Meaning: 判 (tán) = to speak, talk 判 (pân) = judge
Negotiation in Czech is "vyjednávání"
where "jednat" means - take action, speak, discuss.
Ukrainian - "Переговори", it can be literally translated "over-speak".
Almost the same with Russian "переговоры".
