VOCAB BUILDER
What does honorarium mean?
An honorarium is a payment for special, professional services
that don’t technically require compensation
or for which payment isn’t customarily given.
An honorarium is usually given as an appreciative gesture for services
outside of one’s normal job—it’s not a salary.
More generally, it can refer to a one-time feepaid to a professional for their services.
The correct plural of honorarium can be either honorariums or honoraria.
Technically speaking, honoraria is the Latin-based plural form of honorarium.
(Many other Latin-derived words can be pluralized in the same way, but many are rarely used, such as stadia as the plural for stadium.)
Example: I was paid a modest honorarium for the summer poetry workshop that I led.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Did You Know?
Our evidence shows remuneration to be most at home in writing that concerns financial matters, especially when large amounts of money-or other forms of compensation-are involved.
Whether it's because money denotes numerals, or simply because the "n" and "m" are adjacent to each other on our keyboards,
"reMUNeration" appears misspelled as "reNUMeration" to a rather inordinate degree in an electronic database of published periodicals.
(Renumeration, a very rare word, means "to enumerate [to count or list] again.")
It pays to know that the "-mun-" in remuneration is from Latin munus, meaning "gift,"
a root it shares with munificent, an adjective which means "very liberal in giving."
Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
Honorarium
This word is occasionally used to refer to a fee (payment)
for service rendered by an eminent or professional person.
An honorarium is considered a rewardfor some act for which custom or tact forbids the setting of a fixed amount, or fee:
“The ambassador received a small honorarium for speaking at our meeting.”
The word is a kind of euphemism for fee;
an honorarium is not considered a recognition in money
so much as a token of the honor conferred by the presence of the person rendering the service.
