Le terme subside, parfois employé sous l'influence de l'anglais pour rendre subsidy, a un sens plus large lorsqu'il désigne une somme versée à un particulier ou à un groupement soit à titre d'aide ou de subvention, soit en rémunération de services. 2) Le mot octroi au sens de subvention est une impropriété à éviter. 3, record 2, French, - subvention
