Definition
The act or process of compromising; an agreement where both sides make concessions to settle a dispute.
Etymology
From Late Latin 'compromissio,' derived from 'compromittere.' Uses the -tion suffix to create an abstract noun. More common in French and European languages than in English.
Kelly Says
This is essentially a fancy, Latinate version of 'compromise'—it's rarely used in modern English because 'compromise' already serves as both verb and noun. But in formal or historical legal documents, 'compromission' carries extra weight and precision that plain 'compromise' doesn't convey.
