Definition reward

Etymology 1

From Middle English reward, rewarde, from Old French reward (“reward”) (compare Old French regard, whence modern French regard, and also English regard through Middle French), from rewarder (“to reward”) (compare Old French reguarder), from re- + warder (“to guard, keep”) (compare Old French guarder); the Anglo-Norman forms are derived from Old Northern French variants of Old French, ultimately of Germanic (Frankish) origin. Compare regard, warden, guard. See more below.

Displaced native Middle English lean (“reward”), from Old English l?an (“reward”); Middle English meed, mede (“reward, meed, recompense”), from Old English m?d (“reward, meed, recompense”); Middle English schipe, schepe (“reward, wage”), from Old English scipe (“wages, payment, reward”).
