compensational

/kˌɑmpənsˈeɪʃənəl/ adj

Relating to, or serving as, compensation.

Word Origin Compensational is from compensation, which comes from Latin com- 'together' and pensare 'to weigh' — literally 'weighing together' to balance things out. The breakdown com+pens+ation+al shows the root pens (weigh), the noun suffix -ation, and the adjective suffix -al. So compensational means 'pertaining to making things equal.' The same root gives us compensate, expense, and pensive.
