the.com/benefit
the favor with fine print, sometimes a gala, occasionally a doubt you grant
means A helpful or advantageous thing you gain — an aid, perk, or good effect — and by extension a fundraising event or formal support payment.
from From Latin 'bene factum,' literally 'a good deed' (bene 'well' + facere 'to do, make'), which passed through Old French as 'bienfet' before English smoothed it into 'benefit.' The same Latin 'bene' brightens benevolent, benediction, and benign; the same 'facere' busies itself in factory, manufacture, and effect.
