(adjective) Having little or no money; chronically poor
Despite his impecunious circumstances, he maintained an air of dignity that made it impossible to pity him.
Impecunious derives from the Latin im- (“not”) + pecuniosus (“wealthy”), itself from pecunia (“money”), which traces back to pecus (“cattle”) — reflecting the ancient Roman practice of using livestock as a measure of wealth. It entered English in the late 16th century as a more refined, literary alternative to simply saying “broke.”
