According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the definition as provided here is obsolete. The correct definition is listed as common in US parlance- that it is a settlement made by concessions on both sides. I am from the US so obviously this page seems incorrect to me--however I find no evidence that other English speaking countries officially use compromise as it is defined here--as a synonym for negotiation.134.84.136.33 20:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Other possibilities:

• "An arrangement arrived at, either in court or out of court, for settling a dispute upon what appears to the parties to be equitable terms, having regard to the uncertainty they are in regarding the facts, or the law and the facts together." Definition attributed to

Ethical Perception

Can we add what Ethics prescribe when compromising. http://www.christianlibrary.org/authors/Brian_Yeager/denominationalism/compromise.htm

It is a tough ask when you decide when to compromise and when not to.BalanceΩrestored ^Talk 09:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Merge

What's the difference? If there is any, please discuss and provide a source. Biggerj1 (talk) 09:46, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Oppose merge. The question is not as to whether there is a semantic difference between compromise and trade-off, but rather whether there are distinct topics. I believe that there are. The compromise article covers negotiations between people; the Trade-off article covers goal-dependent optimization that does not depend on negotiation. The scope of each page can be made clear using hatnotes. Klbrain (talk) 09:54, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Would you please add hat notes? Biggerj1 (talk) 13:53, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

I added a hatnote on Compromise. I don't think a hatnote in the other direction is needed, because the article title "trade-off" is unambiguous. 73.223.72.200 (talk) 22:38, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
