Morphology
negotiatress = negotiator (transparent) = negotiate + ess
The meaning 'female negotiator' is directly signalled by the feminine suffix '-ess' applied to the agentive base (negotiator/negotiate), though the form is somewhat dated.
Etymology
Negotiatress comes from negotiate, which means 'to make a deal by talking', plus the female ending -ress, as in actress. So a negotiatress is simply a woman who negotiates, a term often used in older writing.
