Root Explanation

Arbitrament is formed from "arbitrare" (meaning to judge or to consider) and the suffix "-ment" (indicating the result or process of an action). The word refers to the process or result of making a judgment or decision, particularly in a legal or formal context.

Memory Tip

Think of the act of 'judging' ('arbitrare') leading to a 'result' ('-ment') — that's what arbitrament means, the result of a judgment.
