Remunerate vs. renumerate

To remunerate is to pay for goods, services, or losses. The word’s root is related to money (hence mune), not number.1 Renumerate is a common misspelling. At least one dictionary lists the latter as an actual word meaning to recount, but in every instance that we can find, renumerate is just a misspelling of remunerate.2

At any rate, well, there would be no rate, because very few of those guys got paid for the songs that were stolen from them. Even in cases where it was outright theft.
