---Honorarium---Meaning---Word honorarium, in common understanding means a voluntary reward for that for which no remuneration could be collected by law , hence a voluntary payment for a service rendered, an expression of gratitude for which an action cannot be maintained, a voluntary donation, in consideration of services which admit of no compensation in money---While honorarium has been said to denote a compensation, it may be construed as a gift.
