Contentious Conflagration

I contend that many contemporary and constitutional words begin with the prefix: con. This is convenient and continental.

Contentious -- argumentative

Conflagration -- huge fire

Congratulations! You made it all the way through this contemptuous article.

Remuneration

Remuneration is a very good word to ruminate about.

Remuneration means payment. but it has that re- in front so it repeats. "Muni" means money or government. Interesting spelling. A little rearrangement brings us to renumeration. Does this mean renumbering? maybe reprioritizing? It's not in my spell checker. It's not in my dictionary, however, renumber is, as well as reorder.

Recompense is a synonym for remunerate.

Reinforce means to strengthen or increase.

Ruminate means to chew on mentally. It's synonymous with meditate. Well, not exactly. Depends on what kind of meditation you prefer.

Remuneration reinforces itself. Realize that remuneration rebounds and returns, so remuneration is like karma: what goes around comes around!.
