A quick definition of compensate:

Term: COMPENSATE

Definition: To give someone money or something else to make up for something they have done or to make up for something that has been lost or damaged. For example, if someone does a job for you, you should compensate them by paying them for their time and effort. If someone is hurt because of something you did, you should compensate them by paying for their medical bills or other expenses related to their injury.

A more thorough explanation:

compensate (kom-pən-sayt), vb.

  1. To pay someone for services they have provided.
  2. To make up for a loss or injury by giving something in return.
  • The company compensated the workers for their overtime by giving them extra pay.
  • The airline compensated the passengers for the delay by offering them vouchers for future flights.

In the second example, the airline compensated the passengers for the inconvenience caused by the delay. In the third example, the government compensated the victims of the natural disaster for their losses by providing them with financial aid.
