frugality (n.)

1530年代，“经济，节俭”来自法语 frugalité（14世纪），源自拉丁语 frugalitatem（主格 frugalitas）“节俭，节制，节约”，源自 frugalis（见 frugal）。

FRUGALITY. The disposition to save or spare what we have got, without any desire to gain more. It is constantly, of course, associated with avarice ; but quite as frequently with generosity, and is often merely an extreme degree of housewifely habit. [Ruskin, "Fors Clavigera"]

节俭。节约或节省我们已经拥有的，没有任何获取更多的欲望。它当然经常与贪婪联系在一起； 但同样经常与慷慨联系在一起，而且经常只是一种极端的家庭习惯。[拉斯金，《弗斯·克拉维杰拉》]
