Impecunious

Word to the Wise: Impecunious

“Impecunious” (im-pih-KYOO-nee-us) - from the Latin - means poor, habitually without money.

Example (as used by Tag Gallagher in The Adventures of Roberto Rosselini): “He had gotten to know [Giuseppe] Garibaldi during the impecunious soldier’s last years and would send him woolen socks, underwear, and money.”
