To remunerate someone is to pay them for work they have done for you. It is the stiff, official cousin of pay. Contracts, company reports, and job law like it. Almost nobody says it at the dinner table; they say pay, or give you your . The “pay” can be money, but it can also be a whole package — a fee, a bonus, sometimes other rewards written into a deal. The feeling is “you did this for me, so I give you what we agreed,” not a friendly gift and not a tip slipped across a table. Though actually, it looks a bit like money, and students often guess it comes from money. It does not. It comes from Latin remūnerō, “to reward,” built on mū, a gift or a duty. The likeness to money is an accident. Treat it as a formal “pay,” and you will be safe.
