When people compromise to resolve a conflict, it means that both sides give up something. Compromise involves finding a middle ground where each party makes concessions in order to reach an agreement or solution that is acceptable to both. It typically does not mean that either side gets everything they want, but rather that each side may have to adjust their demands or expectations to achieve a resolution.
