rebating
Giving money back
Rebating is the practice of returning part of a payment or charge.
Insurance agents who rebate give back portions of commissions to clients as inducements—a practice illegal in many jurisdictions.
In woodworking, rebating means cutting a groove or channel along the edge of a board to receive another piece.
The carpenter spent the afternoon rebating the window frames.
