    Think “money” rather than “number” to get the right word. It’s not actually from “money”, mind you, it’s from Latin “munerari” (to give), but it’s a useful mnemonic.

      Yeah, I had a look and it makes sense… it’s just… it seems like everyone has been saying “renumerated” for my entire life until this point, and now suddenly I’ve found out my entire life has been based on lies (not that it’s a word I’d say that often, to be honest).

      [Edit] Anyway, I’ll definitely remember it now. Not because of the mnemonic, but simply because of the shame of being wrong for several decades.
