Morphology
negotiatrix = negotiator (semi-transparent) = negotiate + trix
Formally related to 'negotiator' with the Latin-derived feminine agentive suffix '-trix', but '-trix' is rare and not productive in modern English so learners may be unsure.
Etymology
The word negotiatrix is the female form of negotiator, coming from the Latin root negotium ('business') and the ending -trix ('female doer'). In Latin the parts ne- ('not') and otium ('leisure') meant 'not free time', so a negotiatrix is a woman who works at making deals, which is why it means 'a female negotiator'.
