From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Wages \Wa"ges\, n. plural in termination, but singular in
      signification. [Plural of wage; cf. F. gages, pl., wages,
      hire. See {Wage}, n.]
      A compensation given to a hired person for services; price
      paid for labor; recompense; hire. See {Wage}, n., 2.
  
               The wages of sin is death.                     --Rom. vi. 23.
  
      {Wages fund} (Polit. Econ.), the aggregate capital existing
            at any time in any country, which theoretically is
            unconditionally destined to be paid out in wages. It was
            formerly held, by Mill and other political economists,
            that the average rate of wages in any country at any time
            depended upon the relation of the wages fund to the number
            of laborers. This theory has been greatly modified by the
            discovery of other conditions affecting wages, which it
            does not take into account. --Encyc. Brit.
  
      Syn: See under {Wage}, n.
