Explanation
Commission has two main uses. First, it means money paid to someone for doing work, usually a percentage of sales. For example, a salesperson might earn a commission when they sell a product. Second, it means an official group of people who are given responsibility to study, manage, or decide something, like a “police commission” or “human rights commission.” It can also mean the act of giving someone authority to do a task, and as a verb “to give someone authority to do something”. In short, it is either a payment, a group, or the act of assigning responsibility.
