subsidise
의미: To support financially by contributing money, typically from public funds, to reduce the cost of a product or service or to keep an enterprise running.
Subsidise is central to economic and political debate in Britain, appearing in discussions of agriculture, energy, transport, and housing. Whether something 'should be subsidised by the taxpayer' is a perennial question in policy circles. The word can be neutral or loaded depending on the speaker's politics — supporters of market economics often use it pejoratively, while others see subsidies as essential public investment. The noun 'subsidy' is equally common.
