wage
Laborer's regular earnings
Wage is payment for work, typically calculated by the hour or day rather than as an annual salary.
The plural wages often appears even for a single job: She earned good wages at the factory.
The minimum wage is the lowest hourly pay legally permitted.
To wage is to carry on or conduct, almost always with war or a campaign: They waged a fierce battle for market share.
