recompensed
Paid back fairly
Recompensed is the past tense of recompense, meaning to compensate or repay someone for effort, loss, or injury.
The word carries a slightly formal or literary tone: She felt adequately recompensed for her troubles.
It suggests making amends or restoring balance rather than simply paying.
