proceeds
UK: ˈprəʊsiːdz | US: ˈproʊsiːdz
n. money or profit obtained from an event, activity, or sale
n. the act of continuing or moving forward (archaic/formal)
The word "proceeds" originates from Latin procedere (pro- "forward" + cedere "to go"), entering English via Old French. The core idea is "moving forward," which evolved metaphorically to mean "profit" (as money "moving forward" from a transaction). The plural "-s" marks it as a collective noun for financial gains.
