When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

arrangement/settlement
The asker hasn't given the full context here, but it's in her previous question:
S'agissant des suites contentieuses, en alternative a des poursuites judiciaires, je vous propose de clore definitivement le litige par la signature d'un reglement transactionnel consistant, outre le reglement de la creance de 490 000 6 de TVA, au paiement d'une amende de 390 000 €.
In other words, the recipient of the letter has committed VAT fraud, but they're offering a way out of court proceedings by paying the VAT plus a fine.

Because it's a tautology. An arrangement/settlement is a compromise.

AGain, settlement agreement is a tautology - but thanks for agreeing!

settlement agreement
OK. It's colloquially a compromise but not a composition e.g. with creditors.
| agree |
AllegroTrans
: not a tautology - both words have specific meanings, together they convey a specific type of agreement
