frugalness

/ˈfɹuɡəɫnəs/ noun

The property of being frugal.

Word Origin From Latin frux 'fruit, produce' — frugal originally meant 'fruitful, productive,' then shifted to 'thrifty, sparing' because a productive person makes the most of resources. Frugalness is the quality of being frugal. The same root gives us fruition (enjoyment, fruit of something) and fructify (to bear fruit).
