Someone who gets paid when your wallet gets talked into something.
means A person or company formally connected to another, often earning a commission for referring business its way.
from From Latin 'affiliare' — ad- ('to') plus 'filius' ('son') — literally meaning 'to adopt as a son.' The word first described formal adoption into a family or organization before business borrowed it for looser, commission-based kinship: you're not blood, but you're on the payroll of the relationship.
