Etymology

The term 'pension' originates from the Latin word 'pensio', which means 'payment'. This Latin root traces back to 'pendere', meaning 'to weigh' or 'to pay'. The concept of pensioning evolved in the Middle Ages when European monarchies began granting pensions to retired soldiers and civil servants. Over the years, various countries developed formal pension systems, allowing workers to save for retirement through structured plans. By the 20th century, pensioning had become widespread, encompassing both private and government-operated schemes. Today, public pension systems are vital in many economies, and the term 'pensioning' has come to signify the broader concept of receiving post-employment income.
