The word "remuneration" refers to the payment or compensation received for work or services performed. It encompasses not just salary, but also bonuses, benefits, and any other forms of financial payment provided to an employee or contractor for their efforts.
The word "remuneration" comes from the Latin word "remuneratio," which means "to reward" or "to pay back." It is derived from "remunerare," which is composed of the prefix "re-" meaning "again" and "munerare," which means "to provide" or "to give."
