Origin:
The Latin word "negotiabilis" was used to describe things that could be subject to negotiation or trade. This sense extended to the idea of being able to be transferred or sold.
In the 16th century, the term "negotiable" began to be used in English to refer to financial instruments, such as bills of exchange and promissory notes, that could be easily transferred or traded.
Over time, the meaning of "negotiable" expanded to include anything that could be discussed, resolved, or adjusted through negotiation.
