- The state or quality of being penniless.
- 2014, Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven, Picador (2022), page 156:
- I was thinking earlier that to know this city you must first become penniless, because pennilessness (real pennilessness, I mean not having $2 for the subway) forces you to walk everywhere and you see the city best on foot.
