capital gain
This term is primarily used in financial, accounting, and legal contexts to describe the increase in value of an asset. It carries a neutral to positive connotation, as it represents a successful investment, though it is frequently discussed in the context of taxation and government revenue.
In a professional or regulatory setting, it is distinguished from "income," which refers to recurring earnings like salaries. A capital gain is specifically a one-time profit realized upon the disposal of an asset, such as real estate or stocks.
