Payment, but dressed in a suit so it sounds dignified instead of transactional.
means Money paid to someone for work done or a service provided — basically a fancier, more official word for 'pay.'
from Traces back to the Latin remunerari, 'to repay or reward,' built from re- ('back') plus munus, meaning 'gift' or 'service.' So underneath the boardroom polish is an old idea of returning a gift for a gift — payment as reciprocity, not just a transaction.
