Economy is a virtue, and parsimony a vice. "I have no other notion of economy than that it is the parent to liberty and ease."

One managing a household; house (akin to L. Vicus village, E. Vicinity) + usage, law, rule, fr. To distribute, mange. See Vicinity, Nomad. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
