formal settling of a dispute
A formal way to end a disagreement, where both sides let a neutral person or group listen and then make a final decision, usually instead of using a court.
用法模式：
arbitration between [parties] over [issue]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "arbitration" with "arbitrage"; "arbitrage" is a financial term about buying and selling assets for profit, while "arbitration" is about resolving disputes. Another common mistake is treating "arbitration" as a verb (e.g., *"They arbitrated the problem"*); in everyday English, we normally use the noun and say "They used arbitration" or "They went to arbitration," while the verb is more often "to arbitrate" for the neutral person or body.
近义词
adjudication (More general term for a formal judgment or decision, often by a court or official body, while arbitration is usually outside the court system and based on prior agreement.)
|
mediation (Similar alternative dispute process, but a mediator helps the parties reach their own agreement instead of making a binding decision like in arbitration.)
反义词
litigation (Litigation involves taking a dispute to court, which is the main alternative and practical opposite of resolving it through arbitration.)
