commission
A very rare Anglicism used attributively (like an adjective before a noun) to express that something is done on a commission basis or was created as commissioned work.
Das ist ein Commission-Werk, das speziell für den Kunden angefertigt wurde.
This is a commission work that was made especially for the client.
This word is not a noun and does not mean 'Provision' (commission) or 'Kommission' (committee/commission). It is used like an adjective to describe commissioned work. The German nouns for the English 'commission' are 'der Auftrag' (commission/order) or 'die Provision' (commission).
Ich verdiene mein Geld mit Commission-Arbeiten für verschiedene Firmen.
I earn my money with commission work for various companies.
'Commission' is used only attributively, that is, directly before a noun, and is not declined. It behaves like the first part of a compound, e.g. 'Commission-Zeichnung' (commission drawing).
Diese Skulptur ist ein Commission-Projekt für einen privaten Sammler.
This sculpture is a commission project for a private collector.
This Anglicism is rare and is used mainly in creative and art circles. Artists, illustrators, or designers speak of 'Commission-Arbeiten' (commission work) when they create a work on behalf of a client.
Momentan nehme ich keine neuen Commission-Anfragen an.
At the moment, I am not accepting any new commission requests.
