Translation

和解 / 解決 / 入植地 / 決済

Meaning

A settlement is an agreement that ends a dispute, lawsuit, claim, or conflict. It usually involves terms that both sides accept instead of continuing the fight. The learner trap is treating settlement only as a place where people live.

Examples

• 両社は秘密の和解に達しました。
  The two companies reached a confidential settlement.
• その和解により、長い訴訟は終わりました。
  The settlement ended the long lawsuit.
