Origin Late Middle English (in the sense 'payment, tax, regular sum paid to retain allegiance'): from Old French, from Latin pensio(n-) 'payment', from pendere 'to pay'. The current verb sense dates from the mid 19th century. In early use a pension was a payment, a tax, or a regular sum paid to keep someone's loyalty. The word is derived from Latin pendere ‘to pay’, the source also of stipend (Late Middle English). Use of the word to describe an annuity paid to a retired employee has developed since the early 16th century.
