tractation(n.)
"treatment or handling of a subject, discussion, a discourse or writing," 1550s, from Latin tractationem (nominative tracatio) "a handling, management, treatment; conduct, behavior," also in rhetoric, "discussion," noun from past-participle stem of tractare "handle, manage" (see treat (v.)).
A Roman tractator (fem. tractatrix) was a slave who gave a master massages and oiled the skin, but in post-classical use it also was a "treater" of literary topics or matters.
