remunera

Remunera is a verb form used in several Romance languages to denote the act of providing compensation or reward. In Spanish and Portuguese, remunera is the third-person singular present indicative form of remunerar or remunerar, meaning “he/she remunerates” or “you remunerate” depending on the language. The corresponding infinitive forms are remunerar in both languages.

Etymology traces remunera to the Latin remunerare, formed from re- (back, again) and munus (duty, service, gift). The original sense centered on rewarding service rendered, and the term evolved into the modern notion of compensation or payment for work or goods.

Usage and context occur mainly in business, legal, and governmental texts in Spanish and Portuguese. It appears in sentences describing compensation for services or labor, such as a company remunerando a sus empleados (Spanish) or uma empresa remunerando os trabalhadores (Portuguese). The form is primarily productive within the present tense for third-person subjects.

Related terms include remuneración (Spanish) and remuneração (Portuguese) for the act or amount of compensation, as well as the English term remuneration. In cross-linguistic discussions, remunera is often cited to illustrate how Romance-language verbs encode agency and payment relations in a concise verb form.
