Webster's 1828 Dictionary

PARSIMONIOUS

a.[See Parsimony. ] Sparing in the use or expenditure of money; covetous; near; close. It differs from frugal, in implying more closeness or narrowness of mind, or an attachment to property somewhat excessive, or a disposition to spend less money that is necessary or honorable. Extraordinary funds for one campaign may spare us the expense of many years; whereas a long parsimonious war will drain us of more men and money.
[It is sometimes used in a good sense for frugal. ]

 

PARSIMONIOUSLY

adv. With a very sparing use of money; covetously.

 

PARSIMONIOUSNESS

n.A very sparing use of money, or a disposition to save expense.

 

PARSIMONY

n.[L. parsimonia, from parcus, saving, literally close; Eng. park. ] Closeness or sparingness in the use or expenditure of money; sometimes used perhaps in a good sense, implying due or justifiable caution in expenditure, in which sense it differs little from frugality and economy. More generally, it denotes an excessive caution or closeness; in which case, it is allied to covetousness, but it implies less meanness than niggardliness. It generally implies some want of honorable liberality. The ways to enrich are many; parsimony is one of the best, and yet is not innocent, for it withholdeth men from works of liberality.
