haggle
This term carries a connotation of persistence and sometimes tediousness. It describes a process of back-and-forth negotiation that is more aggressive or detailed than simple bargaining. While bargaining can be a polite exchange, haggling often implies a spirited or stubborn struggle to shave off a few dollars or tweak a specific clause.
In modern usage, the word is frequently associated with street markets, flea markets, or high-stakes legal negotiations. It suggests a level of friction where neither party is immediately willing to concede, creating a rhythmic cycle of offer and counter-offer.
