Definitions

  1. wrangle (over a price, terms of an agreement, etc.)

Word origin

1570s, "to cut unevenly" (implied in haggler), frequentative of Middle English haggen (“to chop”), variant of hacken (“to hack”), equivalent to hack + -le. Sense of "argue about price" first recorded c.1600, probably from notion of chopping away.

Used in a sentence

  • I haggled for a better price because the original price was too high.
  • ‘I am pretty useless at haggling. Haggling means asking the seller to sell stuff below the asking price.’
  • Suffolk first died, and York, all haggled o'er, / Comes to him, where in gore he lay insteeped.
