Morphology
remunerate = remuner + ate
The verb is built from a Latinate root plus the productive suffix -ate, but the root 'remuner-' is not a standalone English word and its meaning is not recoverable by an average B1 learner from modern English components.
Etymology
Remunerate comes from the Latin parts re- and munus, where re- means 'again' and munus means 'gift' or 'service'. So to remunerate someone is like giving a 'gift back', in other words paying or rewarding them for their work.
