"貧乏" (びんぼう) is a Japanese word that means "poverty" or "poor". The word is composed of two kanji characters: "貧" which means "poor" or "needy", and "乏" which means "scarce" or "lack". The origin of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the word was written as "貧窮" and meant "extreme poverty".
