What does l'amiable mean?

Answer 1

In law or contracts, amiable means "which acts, or is done by the voluntary agreement of the parties; volitional; willful"

It is often used in the expressions: 'accord amiable' (an accepted agreement); 'séparation amiable / divorce à l'amiable' (an agreed separation or divorce).

It is often confused with 'aimable', a related word meaning friendly.
