Etymology
The word 'reward' originated from the Old French word 'reiswarde' in the 14th century, which meant 'a regard for something.' Over time, the meaning shifted to include the concept of compensation or recognition for effort or achievement. Rewards have been used throughout history as a way to motivate and incentivize individuals to perform better or achieve specific goals.
