[countable, usually plural] a sum of money that is paid by an oil or mining company to the owner of the land that they are working on

Word Originlate Middle English: from Old French roialte, from roial, from Latin regalis ‘regal’. The sense ‘royal right (especially over minerals)’ (late 15th cent.) developed into the sense ‘payment made by a mineral producer to the site owner’ (mid 19th cent.), which was then transferred to payments for the use of patents and published materials.
