niggardly词源

niggardly (adj.)

1560s, from niggard + -ly (1).

It was while giving a speech in Washington, to a very international audience, about the British theft of the Elgin marbles from the Parthenon. I described the attitude of the current British authorities as \"niggardly.\" Nobody said anything, but I privately resolved -- having felt the word hanging in the air a bit -- to say \"parsimonious\" from then on.
