pensiona regular payment to a person that is intended to allow them to subsist without working

A pension is a regular payment, usually from a company you worked for, that allows you to survive without working after you retire.

People used to work for the one company, then retired at 65 and receive pensions: regular payments of enough money to live on in old age. Nowadays, not that many jobs offer pensions, and it's hard for companies that do to pay for them, which is why you're likely to hear this word when people are arguing about budget cuts. It's also a verb: if you pension your employee, you give them a pension. How nice of you!

All forms of 'pension' will appear on average once every 308 pages.
