Etymology of ECONOMISE

The word "economise" originates from the Greek word "oikonomia", which means "household management" or "the management of a household or family". This Greek term is derived from "oikos" (house) and "nemein" (manage or distribute). In Latin, the word "oecenomia" evolved, which further transformed into "oeconomia" in Old French, and eventually into "economise" in Middle English. Over time, the meaning of "economise" expanded to refer to the efficient and careful management of resources and finances in general.
