recompensing
Making amends financially
Recompensing is compensating or repaying someone for loss, effort, or service rendered.
The word carries a formal, sometimes archaic tone: The company is recompensing farmers for damaged crops.
It suggests making amends or restoring balance rather than simply paying.
