Damages
A cash compensation ordered by a court to offset losses or suffering caused by another's fault or negligence. Damages are a typical request made of a court when persons sue for breach of contract or tort.
God
"From the Saxon god, good. The source of all good; the supreme being. Every man is presumed to believe in God, and he who opposes a witness on the ground of his unbelief is bound to prove it.
