transaction

transaction
Act of transacting or conducting any business; between two or more persons; negotiation; that which is done; an affair. An act, agreement, or several acts or agreements between or among parties whereby a cause of action or alteration of legal rights occur. Miles v. Starks, Tex.Civ.App., 590 S.W.2d 223, 227.
It may involve selling, leasing, borrowing, mortgaging or lending. Something which has taken place, whereby a cause of action has arisen. It must therefore consist of an act or agreement, or several acts or agreements having some connection with each other, in which more than one person is concerned, and by which the legal relations of such persons between themselves are altered. It is a broader term than "contract". Hoffman Machinery Corporation v. Ebenstein, 150 Kan. 790, 96 P.2d 661, 663.
Evidence.
A "transaction" between a witness and a decedent, within statutory provisions excluding evidence of such transactions, embraces every variety of affairs which can form the subject of negotiations, interviews, or actions between two persons, and includes every method by which one person can derive impressions or information from the conduct, condition, or language of another. An action participated in by witness and decedent and to which decedent could testify of his own personal knowledge, if alive. Nelson v. Janssen, 144 Neb. 811, 14 N.W.2d 662, 665.
A personal or mutual transaction wherein deceased and witness actively participate
