Adjective
[edit]economic (comparative more economic, superlative most economic)
- Pertaining to an economy.
- 2013 August 3, “Boundary problems”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8847:
- Economics is a messy discipline: too fluid to be a science, too rigorous to be an art. Perhaps it is fitting that economists’ most-used metric, gross domestic product (GDP), is a tangle too. GDP measures the total value of output in an economic territory. Its apparent simplicity explains why it is scrutinised down to tenths of a percentage point every month.
- 2021 January 7, Charles Hugh Smith, The Tyranny Nobody Talks About[1]:
- There is much talk of tyranny in the political realm, but little is said about the tyrannies in the economic realm, a primary one being the tyranny of high costs: high costs crush the economy from within and enslave those attempting to start enterprises or keep their businesses afloat.
- Frugal; cheap (in the sense of representing good value); economical.
- Pertaining to the study of money and its movement.
- (obsolete) Pertaining to the management of a household
- 1714 [1599], John Davies, edited by Nahum Tate, The Original, Nature, and Immortality of the Soul[2], 2nd edition, London: Hammond Banks, page 64:
- And doth employ her Oeconomick Art, and buisy Care, her Houshold to preserve
Usage notes
[edit]Modern usage prefers economic when describing the economy of a region or country (and when referring to personal or family budgeting).
Economical is preferred when referring to thrift or value for money.
