Origin:
The word "miser" can be traced back to the Latin word "miser", meaning "wretched" or "pitiful". This word was originally used to describe people who were unfortunate or in distress. Over time, the meaning of the word shifted to refer specifically to people who were extremely stingy or frugal.
The earliest known use of the word "miser" in English dates back to the 14th century. It was originally used to describe people who were so stingy that they would refuse to give even the most basic necessities to themselves or others. In the centuries that followed, the meaning of the word broadened to include people who were simply extremely frugal or careful with their money.
Today, the word "miser" is still used to describe people who are very stingy or frugal. However, it is also sometimes used to describe people who are extremely unhappy or pitiful.
