Synonyms: poor, indigent, needy, impecunious, penniless, impoverished, poverty-stricken, destitute. These adjectives mean lacking the money or the means requisite to an adequate or comfortable life. Poor is the most general: "Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness" (Samuel Johnson). Indigent and needy refer to one in need or want: The town government is responsible for assistance to indigent people. Local politicians used to distribute Thanksgiving turkeys to needy families. Impecunious and penniless mean having little or no money: "Certainly an impecunious Subaltern was not a catch" (Rudyard Kipling). If the breadwinner deserts the family, it will be left penniless. One who is impoverished has been reduced to poverty: The dictator, whose greed and excesses had produced an impoverished citizenry, fled the country. Poverty-stricken means suffering from poverty and miserably poor: "The poverty-stricken exiles contributed far more, in proportion . . . than the wealthy merchants" (John Lothrop Motley). Destitute means lacking any means of subsistence: Some nations have no middle class; one group is rich, while the other is destitute.

Usage Note: In informal speech poor is sometimes used as an adverb, as in They never played poorer. In formal usage more poorly would be required in this example.
