penuryn.

Brit.

/ˈpɛnjᵿri/, U.S.

/ˈpɛnjəri/

Forms: late Middle English penowrye, late Middle English penure, late Middle English peynurie, late Middle English punyrie (transmission error), late Middle English 1600s pennurie, late Middle English 1600s pennury, late Middle English–1500s penurye, late Middle English–1600s penurie, late Middle English– penury; also Scottish pre-1700 penurie.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin pēnūria.

Etymology: < classical Latin pēnūria, paenūria want, need, of uncertain origin; perhaps related to paene almost (see pene- prefix); compare -y suffix³. Compare Middle French, French pénurie (1468; rare before the 18th cent.), Italian penuria (a1342), Spanish penuria (1427–8), Catalan penúria (1482). N.E.D. (1905) enters quot. ?1463 at sense 1 as the sole example of Penur sb., but the form probably simply shows a transmission error.
