*Date: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15th_century 15th century]
==Definitions==
*1 a : settlement of differences by arbitration or by consent reached by mutual concessions b : something intermediate between or blending qualities of two different things
*2 : a concession to something derogatory or prejudicial <a compromise of principles>
==Description==
To '''compromise''' is to make a deal where someone gives up part of, or all of its demand. In [[arguments]], compromise is a [[concept]] of finding agreement through [[communication]], through a mutual [[acceptance]] of terms—often involving variations from an [[original]] goal or [[desire]]. Extremism is often considered as antonym to compromise, which, depending on [[context]], may be associated with concepts of [[balance]], [[tolerance]]. In the [[negative]] connotation, compromise may be referred to as capitulation, referring to a "[[surrender]]" of objectives, principles, or materiale, in the [[process]] of negotiating an agreement. In human [[relationships]] "compromise" is frequently said to be an agreement that no party is [[happy]] with, this is because the parties involved often feel that they either gave away too much or that they received too little[1].
