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-areinvolved.

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 orlist] 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."
