The word "skimpier" is derived from the verb "skimp", which originated in the early 17th century. The term "skimp" originally meant to make something scanty or inadequate. It is believed to be derived from the Old Norman French word "escamper", meaning to plunder or pilfer, which ultimately traces back to the Latin word "excamplare" meaning to deprive or fleece. Over time, "skimp" developed into an adjective, "skimpy", to describe something lacking in size, quantity, or quality. The comparative form of "skimpy" is "skimpier", indicating something even more insufficient or scanty.
