adjective

Having little or no money; penniless; poor.

He was an eccentric, disheveled, toothless and impecunious lifelong bachelor, an amateur poet and musician and an autodidact able to converse knowledgeably with experts in many different fields.

—Ken Johnson “Forever Drawing the World in All Its Minuscule Detail” New York Times, November 2, 2007
