Generally speaking, an honorarium is a payment for a service on which custom or propriety forbids a set price. Such services usually include giving a speech, making an appearance, participating on a panel or writing articles or publications. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics Agency defines the term "honorarium" as a payment or money or anything of value for a "series of appearances, speeches, or articles if the subject matter is directly related to the individual's official duties or the payment is made because of the individual's status with the Government."

it can be defined as a small token of appreciation, paid in cash, for a certain service rendered.
eg: If you are the treasurer of an NGO / not for profit organisation / charitable trust, you may get a honorarium for the services you have rendered.
