Etymology

The word 'penuriously' originates from the Latin term 'penuria,' which means 'poverty' or 'lack.' The outline of this term evolved into the modern construction during the late Middle Ages, reflecting the social conditions of the time. During this period, the concept of poverty was closely associated with social status and personal worth. The use of 'penurious' in English literature began to rise in the 19th century, as writers sought to explore themes of economic struggle and the moral implications of wealth. Today, 'penuriously' illustrates the persistent societal issue of financial hardship.
