Since I love words, and we writers need to know them, I am creating a new category for my site – Word of the Week. These words will be new, fun, unusual, and sometimes ancient – simply because all words can be useful as we continue down our writing (and reading) road.
Today’s word is:
ex·ig·u·ous
[eɡˈziɡyo͞oəs, ekˈsiɡyo͞oəs]
Exiguous is an adjective and means very small in size or amount.

Synonyms are –
meager inadequate insufficient small scanty paltry negligible modest deficient piddling stingy miserly measly niggardly beggarly
Also:
Exiguousness, noun
Exiguously, adverb
