To arbitrate is to sit between two opposing sides and give an official decision about how the argument should be settled. The two sides agree, or the law already says, that they will accept what this person decides. Companies use it when they do not want a full court case. Countries sometimes ask someone to arbitrate a border fight. It is a formal, official verb — you would not usually say a parent “arbitrates” who gets the last dumpling, though the idea is close. Though actually, the person who arbitrates is not mainly trying to make both sides happy. They are judging: who is right, or what the fair split is. The doing is arbitrate; the process is arbitration; the person is an arbitrator.
組成From Latin arbitrari (to be a witness, to act as umpire), from arbiter (umpire). The English verb keeps that “be the official umpire” sense.
