relating to arbitration
Etymology
'arbitral' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'arbiter', where 'arbiter' meant 'judge' or 'umpire'.
'arbitral' changed from the Medieval Latin adjective 'arbitrālis' and the Old French form 'arbitral', and eventually became the modern English word 'arbitral'.
Initially, it meant 'pertaining to an arbiter', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to arbitration or decided by arbitration'.
