Pronunciation: /'saɪnɪkjʊr/
English Description: a job in an organization
Chinese Translation: 闲职(xian2 zhi2)
Spanish Translation: sinecura
STORY: The noun sinecure comes from the Latin root words sine curameaning "without care." It originally was used to describe a church position that did not include caring for the souls of parishioners, but that meaning is considered archaic now. The word is now usually associated with political appointments
