What does the word renumeration mean?
Answer:
This word is often confused to mean 'To be paid or rewarded for a deed or service.' The word intended is remuneration.
Re-numeration actually means to recount something.
However, this confusion is so prevalent that to all intents and purposes, the common mistaken meaning is now the de facto one.
To be numerate means to have a mental ability to work with numbers. The word "Re-numeration" is a payment for a single, daily, weekly, monthly or annual task as in fee, wages or salary. This is the correct spelling and pronunciation. The word used so often in error (Remuneration) is gobbledygook and should be avoided by scholars and lesser mortals or even Gods.
