  • Lend - to give something (e.g., money) to somebody (the borrower) for using it, expecting to get it back.
  • Gas theft - the removal of gasoline from a station without payment.

  • Compound interest - interest which is regularly added to the debt (called compounding) and is calculated over the principal PLUS over the interest already accrued to the debt (over the total amount owed).
  • Loan - a type of debt in which the borrower initially receives an amount of money from the lender, which the borrower pays back, usually in regular installments, to the lender. Generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest.
