Word origin
The word 'compensate' comes from the Latin word 'compensatus', which means 'weighed against'. The concept of compensation has been present in human societies for centuries, as a way to restore balance and fairness. Whether it is compensating for a loss, injury, or inconvenience, the act of compensating is seen as a way to make things right and provide some form of restitution.
