compensación
/kompensaˈθjon/ · B2 · noun · f
compensation
⚖️ com- (together) + pensar (weigh): weighing things against each other
From Latin compensare, 'to weigh together'. Pensar once meant 'to weigh' (like pensar/peso). A compensación is what you put on the scale to balance a loss, so a tradeoff or offset evens out.
