Etymology
The word 'arbitrate' comes from the Latin word 'arbitratus', past participle of 'arbitrari' which means 'to give a decision'. The concept of arbitration has been used for centuries as a way to resolve disputes outside of formal court systems, with arbitrators acting as neutral third parties to help parties reach a resolution.
