arbitrage
/ˈɑːrbɪtrɑːʒ/
Definition
The practice of identifying and exploiting price discrepancies for the same or similar assets in different markets or forms to generate a profit with little or no risk.
Etymology
The word originates from the French 'arbitrage', meaning 'judgment' or 'arbitration,' derived from the Latin 'arbitrare' (to bear witness or judge). It entered English in the 19th century to describe the financial practice of balancing price differences between markets.
