💰🏆 re + compensa(r): compensating you back, which makes it a reward
It comes from Late Latin recompensare: re- (back) + compensare (to weigh one thing against another). It is the same word as English recompense. Feminine, so it is la recompensa, as in ofrecen una recompensa (they're offering a reward).
