Etymology
The term 'meager' originated in Middle English around the 15th century, derived from the Old French word 'maigre,' meaning 'thin' or 'lean.' It is related to the Latin 'macra,' which means 'thin' as well. Originally, the word was used in various contexts, often in relation to food and sustenance, to describe something that was not only lacking but also embodied a sense of poverty or deficiency. As the term evolved into 'meagerer,' it retained the original connotations of scarcity but also allowed for a comparative degree, emphasizing an even greater lack. The term is often employed in literature and everyday language to highlight insufficiencies, whether in material possessions or emotional states.
