In American courtrooms it has the extra legal sense of a point both sides have agreed to accept, so that it does not need to be proved — you may see 'the parties filed a stipulation'.
In American courtrooms在美國法庭上 it has the extra legal sense它還多了一個法律上的意思 of a point both sides have agreed to accept指雙方都同意接受的一個論點 so that it does not need to be proved這樣就不需要再被證明 you may see 'the parties filed a stipulation'你可能會看到「the parties filed a stipulation」這種說法
組成stipulate(明訂、要求正式承諾)+ -ation(把動作變成名詞的字尾)。-ation 這個字尾很好用:create→creation,inform→information,這裡是 stipulate→stipulation。
