Effective management of a community or system, or especially its resources.

Origin: From , yconomy, borrowed via or Medieval Latin from , from , from house + distribute, allocate. . 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. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
For parents

Economy means: Effective management of a community or system, or especially its resources.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

economy means: Effective management of a community or system, or especially its resources.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
