renegotiated
再交渉した
解説 Definition
契約や合意、条件などについて、いったん決めた内容をもう一度話し合い、条件を見直して決め直したことを表す。企業間の契約、労働条件、国同士の協定などを変更するときによく使われる。
Renegotiated means discussed an agreement again in order to change its terms. It is commonly used for contracts, prices, salaries, loans, or political deals. The new terms may be fairer, clearer, or more suitable for a changed situation.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず negotiate を知っていれば覚えやすいです。中心は negotiate＝「条件を話し合って決める」。そこに re- が付くと「もう一度」、-ed で「そうした状態・過去の事実」になるので、renegotiated は「いったん決めた条件を再び交渉し直した」。契約・給料・期限・協定など、細部を詰め直す場面でよく出ます。discussed より具体的に条件変更まで踏み込む語で、revised は一方的修正にも使えるが、renegotiated は相手との再交渉が前提です。
Start from `negotiate`, then add `re-` for again and `-ed` for a finished action. That gives you the idea of discussing terms again after they were already decided once. It often goes with contracts, salaries, deadlines, or agreements, so think of `renegotiated the contract`.

renegotiated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
re-「再び」+ negotiate「交渉する」+ -ed。negotiate はラテン語 negotium「商用」にさかのぼり、nec「〜でない」+ otium「余暇」で、もとは「暇ではないこと」。だから renegotiated は「条件をもう一度詰め直した」という意味になる。関連語は negotiation, negotiable。
Renegotiated is built from re-, meaning "again," plus negotiate, with the past ending -ed. Negotiate comes from Latin negotium, meaning "business" or "trade," from nec "not" and otium "leisure," so it originally suggested being occupied rather than at ease. Over time, the verb came to mean discussing terms in business, and renegotiated means those terms were discussed again. Related words include negotiation and negotiable.
