Synonyms Salary, Stipend, Wages, Pay, Hire, Allowance, An allowance is gratuitous or discretionary, and may be of any sort: as, an allowance of a pitcher of wine daily to Chaucer; the rest are given from time to time in return for regular work of some kind, and are presumably in the form of money. Of these latter pay is the most generic; it is especially used of the soldier.
