In literature, "exorbitant" is employed to depict quantities or fees that far exceed what is deemed reasonable, imbuing descriptions with a sense of excessive, almost oppressive magnitude. Monetary amounts—whether they be hotel charges [1] or taxes levied under dire circumstances [2]—are rendered not only as high but as morally questionable, suggesting a breach of natural or legal limits. The term also transcends literal finance: it is used metaphorically to connote unrestrained ambition or desire, as seen when characterizing greed and overweening aspirations [3, 4]. Whether describing an outlandishly high contract [5] or critiquing an imperial decree that refuses even modest comfort due to its unfair cost [6], "exorbitant" consistently serves to highlight an imbalance that defies both reason and propriety [7, 8, 9].
