Avaricious Av`a*ri"cious, a. [Cf. F. avaricieux.] Actuated by avarice; greedy of gain; immoderately desirous of accumulating property. Syn: Greedy; stingy; rapacious; griping; sordid; close.

We speak of persons as covetous in getting, avaricious in retaining, parsimonious in expending, penurious or miserly in modes of living, niggardly in dispensing. -- Av`a*ri"cious*ly, adv. -- Av`a*ri"cious*ness, n.
