die Rente, -n
pension
Geld, das eine Person regelmäßig bekommt, wenn sie nicht mehr arbeitet, meist im Alter oder nach langer Arbeitszeit.
The German word "Rente" refers to "pension" or "annuity". It pertains to the regular payments received typically upon retirement from employment or due to disability. The word doesn't neatly decompound into smaller meaningful units related directly to its definition.
Similar German terms are "Pension" and "Altersversorgung". "Pension" is often used interchangeably with "Rente" though it more specifically can refer to governmental or public sector retirement payments. "Altersversorgung" is a broader term that means "old-age provision" and refers to all sorts of financial preparations for retirement, not solely pension payments.
