parsimony is the act of saving, saving and containing something or something.
Parsimony, as an act of economy, is characterized by being focused on small aspects, that is, a thorough economy.
When it is said that a certain subject should be dealt with sparingly, it means that it requires care and attention.
Just as it is related to the action of saving, parsimony is also interpreted as a precaution in relation to something.
Acting sparingly is synonymous with being modest in actions, not opting for exaggerations, but only for what is essential or sufficient to meet a certain need.
For example:"Company expenses should be managed sparingly" or "I used words sparingly so as not to provoke conflicts".
Etymologically, the word parsimony originated from the Latin parsus, derived from the verb partner, which is translated as “save”.
