Morphology
compensate = compense + compensation (transparent) = com + pens + ate
The verb is clearly analysable as com- (together/with) + -pens- (weigh/pay) + -ate, and its meaning 'make up for' is directly reflected in related words like 'compensation'.
Etymology
Compensate comes from the Latin parts com- 'together' and pensare 'to weigh'. Think of putting two things on a scale and giving money to make them equal, which is why to compensate someone often means to pay them for a loss.
