The passage is not provided but from the dictionary entry where the Latin meaning of the prefix com- is shown to be with or together, the word compromise will mean;
agreement
The word compromise entails the method of settling differences when the different parties reach an agreement. Normally, when there is a disagreement all parties tend to stick to their guns.
But when a compromise is reached, the individual parties agree to something that will end the feud between them.
Thus the word that most effectively describes the meaning of compromise is 'agreement'.
