compensation for expenses
Etymology
'unreimbursed' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the verb 'reimburse' from Latin 'reimbursare', where 're-' meant 'back' and 'imbursare' meant 'to put in a purse'.
'reimbursare' transformed into the French word 'rembourser', and eventually became the modern English word 'reimburse' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to put back in a purse', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to pay back or compensate'.
