Poor \Poor\, a. [Compar. {Poorer} (?; 254); superl. {Poorest}.]
[OE. poure or povre, OF. povre, F. pauvre, L. pauper; the

goods; needy; indigent.
[1913 Webster]

Note: It is often synonymous with indigent and with
necessitous denoting extreme want. It is also applied
to persons who are not entirely destitute of property,
but who are not rich; as, a poor man or woman; poor
people.
[1913 Webster]

2. (Law) So completely destitute of property as to be

"Seven other kine came up after them, poor and very

(b) Wanting in strength or vigor; feeble; dejected; as,
poor health; poor spirits. "His genius . . . poor and
cowardly." --Bacon.
(c) Of little value or worth; not good; inferior; shabby;
mean; as, poor clothes; poor lodgings. "A poor
vessel." --Clarendon.
(d) Destitute of fertility; exhausted; barren; sterile; --
said of land; as, poor soil.
(e) Destitute of beauty, fitness, or merit; as, a poor
discourse; a poor picture.
(f) Without prosperous conditions or good results;
unfavorable; unfortunate; unconformable; as, a poor
business; the sick man had a poor night.
(g) Inadequate; insufficient; insignificant; as, a poor
excuse.
[1913 Webster]

That I have wronged no man will be a poor plea
or apology at the last day. --Calamy.
[1913 Webster]

4. Worthy of pity or sympathy; -- used also sometimes as a
term of endearment, or as an expression of modesty, and
sometimes as a word of contempt.
[1913 Webster]

And for mine own poor part,
Look you, I'll go pray. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]

Poor, little, pretty, fluttering thing. --Prior.
[1913 Webster]

5. Free from self-assertion; not proud or arrogant; meek.
