覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
arbitrated は arbitrate の過去分詞で、arbitration（仲裁）や arbiter（仲裁人）を見たことがあれば一気につながります。よく dispute was arbitrated, an arbitrated settlement のように、契約・労使・法務の文脈で出ます。当事者同士がそのまま解決したのでなく、第三者が間に入って決着した感覚で覚えるのがコツです。negotiated は「当事者が交渉した」、mediated は「間を取り持った」、arbitrated は「仲裁人が判断まで下した」に近い、と並べると混同しにくくなります。
Link it to `arbitrate`, `arbitration`, and `arbiter` as one family. The idea is that a third person steps in to settle something, so an `arbitrated settlement` is not just discussed but officially decided through arbitration. Compare it with `negotiated` or `mediated` to feel the difference.
