honoraria
Nominal professional compensation
Honoraria is the plural of honorarium—a payment given for professional services where a set fee isn't customary or appropriate, as when a guest speaker receives compensation for a lecture: The university pays modest honoraria to visiting scholars.
The term implies the payment is a gesture of appreciation rather than a commercial transaction.
