Origin

Late Middle English: from Latin emolumentum, originally probably 'payment to a miller for grinding corn', from emolere 'grind up', from e- (variant of ex-) 'out, thoroughly' + molere 'grind'.

  • Emolument comes from Latin emolumentum which was probably, in its original use, a payment made to a miller for grinding corn. Latin emolere meant ‘to grind up’ (the prefix e- here adding the notion of ‘thoroughly’). Compare the less pretentious word ‘salary’ which started out as a ‘payment for salt’.
