Question

perquisite A new car, a big house, and yearly trips to Europe were among the perquisites that made the presidency of Wyndam College such an attractive position. ˈpərkwəzɪt

Accepted Answer

(1) A privilege or profit that is provided in addition to one's base salary. (2) Something claimed as an exclusive possession or right. Though the Latin source of perquisite originally meant “something insistently asked for,” the “ask” meaning has mostly vanished from the English word. A perquisite, often called simply a perk, is instead something of value that the holder of a particular job or position is entitled to, usually without even asking. The President of the United States, for instance, enjoys as perquisites the use of Camp David and Air Force One. Perhaps because perquisites are usually available to only a small number of people, the word sometimes refers to non-job-related privileges that are claimed as exclusive rights
