Origin of Economy
-
From Latin oeconomia, from Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomia, “management of a household, administration”), from οἶκος (oikos, “house”) + νόμος (nomos, “law”) (surface analysis eco- + -nomy). The first recorded sense of the word economy, found in a work possibly composed in 1440, is “the management of economic affairs”, in this case, of a monastery.
