emolument
의미: A salary, fee, or profit from employment or office; the total financial benefit received from a position, including perks and allowances.
Emolument is a formal, somewhat archaic term for the financial rewards of employment or public office, encompassing not just salary but all benefits, perks, allowances, and privileges. It appears most frequently in legal and constitutional language — the US Constitution's Emoluments Clause, which restricts payments to office holders from foreign states, brought the word into wider public awareness. In British English, it appears in company law and governance. Common collocations include 'the emoluments of office,' 'total emoluments,' 'the Emoluments Clause,' and 'receive emoluments.'
