a. Money paid for the use of money lent (the principal), or for 

forbearance of a debt, according to a fixed ratio (rate per cent.).

Interest is paid at fixed intervals, usually once or twice in the year. simple interest is the 

interest paid on the principal as lent. compound (†compounded) interest (interest upon 

interest), is the interest eventually paid on a principal periodically increased by the addition of 

each fresh amount of interest as it becomes due and remains unpaid. Interest in this sense was

formerly called usury, a name still applied when interest is charged at a rate beyond what is 

considered legitimate or just.

In medieval Latin interesse (Interest) differed from usura (Usury) in that the latter was 

avowedly a charge for the use of money, which was forbidden by the Canon Law; whereas 

originally ‘interesse refers to the compensation which under the Roman Law, was due by the 

debtor who had made default. The measure of compensation was id quod interest, the 

difference between the creditor's position in consequence of the debtor's laches and the position 

which might reasonably have been anticipated as the direct consequence of the debtor's 

fulfilment of his obligation’. This compensation was always permissible when it could be shown 

that such loss had really arisen (damnum emergens). At a later period, lucrum cessans—loss of 

profit through inability to reinvest—was also recognized as giving a claim to interesse; both 

cases appear to be included in the formula damna et interesse. The interesse was originally a 

fixed sum specified in the contract; but a percentage reckoned periodically, so as to correspond 

to the creditor's loss, was afterwards substituted (as sometimes in England in the first half of the 

13th cent.). Interest in the modern sense was first sanctioned by law (though apparently under 

cover of the mediæval theory) by 37 Hen. VIII, c. 9 (see quot. 1545); this statute was repealed in 

1552, but re-enacted in 1571. (See W. J. Ashley Engl. Econ. Hist. Middle Ages II. 397, 466, and I.
