the.com/retribution

means Punishment or harm inflicted on someone as payback for a wrong they've done.

from From Latin retribuere, 'to pay back' — re- ('back') plus tribuere ('to pay, assign, grant'), the same tribuere that gives us 'tribute' and 'contribute.' It passed through Late Latin retributio into Old French and then English around the 14th century, originally carrying a neutral sense of 'repayment' or 'recompense' (even good deeds could earn retribution). Over time the word's sunny side faded and it settled into its current grim specialty: payback for wrongdoing, with a theological undertone of cosmic bookkeeping that never quite lets a debt go unpaid.
