The word "recoup" has been employed in literature to denote the idea of recovering or regaining something lost or expended. In Homer's Odyssey, the use of "recoup" highlights the necessity of collective financial recovery through public means, suggesting that individuals cannot be expected to absorb significant burdens alone [1]. In contrast, Joyce's Ulysses employs the term in a more personal context, implying that after considerable investment—both monetary and otherwise—one has the right to regain or assert one's worth [2]. This evolution in usage reflects a shift from communal recovery efforts to individual assertions of value and self-reclamation.
