## Definition

Controversial term in German as a plural form of money. Linguists pointed out that money is already according to definition a plural term, the expression "Gelder" is therefore logically a misnomer (faux-pas word). In colloquial language, however, "Gelder" is deeply rooted and is also used in official documents. - In English, the plural form (in both first spellings given above) has the meaning of "cash payments or cash receipts" and is otherwise little used. - See funds.
