Etymology
'employee-paid' is a compound word formed from 'employee' and 'paid'. 'Employee' originates from the French word 'employé', meaning 'one who is employed'. 'Paid' comes from the Latin word 'pacare', meaning 'to appease or satisfy'.
'Employee' evolved from the French 'employé' and 'paid' from the Latin 'pacare', eventually forming the modern English compound 'employee-paid'.
Initially, 'paid' meant 'to appease or satisfy', but in this context, it evolved to mean 'covered or funded by'.
