price
"Price" is a very common English word with a few closely related but distinct meanings. It works as both a noun and a verb, and it also has a powerful figurative use that you will encounter often in everyday speech and writing.
Sometimes 'price' does not mean money at all. It means the negative consequence or sacrifice you have to accept in order to get something. For example, if you work very hard to become famous, but you lose your privacy, that loss of privacy is the 'price' of fame.
