"Not to suggest that our bosses *remunerate* us for our high moral standards, but creative bureaucrats at Mesa City Hall have invented a new fund from tax revenue that sets up a $20,000 account for each virtuous City Council member."
--Art Thomason, "Mesa Puts Quite a Price on Discretion," Arizona Republic, May 18, 2000

"The plaintiff could therefore only recover payment for her services if there was evidence of an implied or express contract by the business of which he was a partner (or by the plaintiff personally) to remunerate her for the work which she had done."
--Kate O'Hanlon, "No damages for wife's gratuitous work," Independent, May 27, 1999

"[The firm] wanted to meet long-term investment requirements out of retained profits and also to be able to properly remunerate all the staff and give them a share of the profits."
--Roger Trapp, "Legal firms 'go offshore' to avoid litigation," Independent, May 2, 1996

Remunerate comes from Latin *remunerari*~~"to reward," from *re*~~"back, again" + *munerari*~~"to give, to present," from *munus*~~"a gift."
