////////////Pittance (noun)
Pronunciation: ['pi-têns or 'pit-ns]
Definition: An extremely meager payment; an extremely small portion or amount; charitable gift or donation.
Usage: Today's word is yet another lexical orphan without a corresponding adjective or verb."
Suggested Usage: The basic meaning of "pittance" is a small amount of money: "Since Melvin died intestate (without a will), his children's food costs are a pittance compared to their feud costs." But remember that today's word may also refer to a small amount of anything, "Our salaries place us a pittance above slavery but we don't receive even a pittance of sympathy from the boss." Speaking of food, the reason I avoid the restaurant Chez Leroy is that the kitchen confuses the word "portion" with "pittance."
