I believe the answer is:
negotiate
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">discuss terms</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for negotiate that I've seen before include "Find a way over (a difficult path)" , "as diplomat does" , "Discuss the terms of an arrangement" , "Try to reach agreement through discussion" , "Bring about by mutual agreement" .)
