honorario
honorary
adjective oh-noh-RRAH-ryoh Rare
Origin: From Latin honorarius (done for honour, not pay).
Usage Note
Honorario in the singular usually means 'honorary' (miembro honorario, honorary member; doctor honoris causa uses the Latin directly). In the plural, honorarios becomes a noun meaning 'fees' or 'professional charges' — particularly for freelancers, doctors, and lawyers. This plural-as-noun usage is the most common context a learner will encounter.
Examples
"El médico cobró sus honorarios."
Natural Translation
The doctor charged his fees.
