Etymology
The word 'honorarium' is derived from the Latin term 'honorarium', which comes from 'honor', meaning 'honor' or 'esteem'. It began to be used in English in the late 19th century, primarily within academic and professional contexts. The use of honoraria has evolved over time, often associated with various forms of recognitions for voluntary contributions or services provided to institutions without a formal expectation of payment. It reflects a societal practice of rewarding and acknowledging expertise in situations where conventional compensation does not apply.
