Side note, just fyi, because I used to make the exact same (tiny) mistake all the time. It's spelt remuneration rather than renumeration.
I think it helps to think of the `muner` part as being derived from the same root word as money rather than `numer` as number (which had been my previous assumption I guess).
You just inspired me to actually google my memory technique above, and it turns out the `mun` is from a latin root word for gifting (think munificent)[0]
So now I can think of a munificent monetary remuneration, and should remember it!
