The term "perk" is derived from the word "perquisite," which comes from the Latin "perquisitum," meaning "something acquired." Initially used in the 15th century to describe a benefit or advantage received in addition to one's regular income, it has evolved to refer to various benefits provided by employers, such as health insurance or flexible hours. Over time, the abbreviation "perk" became popular in informal contexts, especially in the workplace.
