(gcide) | Poverty \Pov"er*ty\ (p[o^]v"[~e]r*t[y^]), n. [OE. poverte, OF.
povert['e], F. pauvret['e], fr. L. paupertas, fr. pauper
poor. See Poor.]
1. The quality or state of being poor or indigent; want or
scarcity of means of subsistence; indigence; need.
"Swathed in numblest poverty." --Keble.
[1913 Webster]
The drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty.
--Prov. xxiii.
21.
[1913 Webster]
2. Any deficiency of elements or resources that are needed or
desired, or that constitute richness; as, poverty of soil;
poverty of the blood; poverty of ideas.
[1913 Webster]
Poverty grass (Bot.), a name given to several slender
grasses (as Aristida dichotoma, and Danthonia spicata)
which often spring up on old and worn-out fields.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Indigence; penury; beggary; need; lack; want;
scantiness; sparingness; meagerness; jejuneness.
Usage: Poverty, Indigence, Pauperism. Poverty is a
relative term; what is poverty to a monarch, would be
competence for a day laborer. Indigence implies
extreme distress, and almost absolute destitution.
Pauperism denotes entire dependence upon public
charity, and, therefore, often a hopeless and degraded
state.

poverty
(wn) | poverty
n 1: the state of having little or no money and few or no
material possessions [syn: poverty, poorness,
impoverishment] [ant: wealth, wealthiness] |
poverty
(devil) | POVERTY, n. A file provided for the teeth of the rats of reform. The
number of plans for its abolition equals that of the reformers who
suffer from it, plus that of the philosophers who know nothing about
it. Its victims are distinguished by possession of all the virtues
and by their faith in leaders seeking to conduct them into a
prosperity where they believe these to be unknown.
