Word origin
The word 'penniless' originated from the combination of the word 'penny' and the suffix '-less'. The word 'penny' comes from the Old English 'penig', which referred to a coin. Over time, 'penniless' evolved to describe someone without any money or funds. It has been used in English language since the 16th century.
