Word origin

The verb 'stipulate' originates from the early 16th century, derived from the Latin 'stipulatus,' the past participle of 'stipulari,' which means to make a promise or to demand. In Roman law, it referred to a formal question and answer procedure that formed the basis of contracts. Over time, 'stipulate' evolved into the more general use we recognize today, becoming prevalent in legal contexts where clear and defined conditions are necessary. The usage of 'stipulating' in English has grown, especially in legal, formal, and academic settings, as its precision facilitates clearer communication in agreements.
