Emolumenter

Emolumenter is a term that refers to the act of providing or receiving emoluments. Emoluments, in a general sense, are the profits, salary, or other financial benefits derived from an office or employment. The term can encompass a wide range of compensation, including wages, fees, perquisites, and any other form of remuneration. When something is "emolumented," it means it has been compensated or paid for through these emoluments.

Historically, the concept of emoluments has been linked to public office, where it referred to the fees and profits associated with holding a position, often in addition to a base salary. In modern usage, emolumenter can apply to both public and private sector employment. The act of emolumenter implies a formal or established system of payment for services rendered. It is not typically used to describe informal gifts or casual payments, but rather the regular and sanctioned compensation for a role or responsibility. The context in which emolumenter is used often dictates the specific nature of the emoluments being exchanged.
