Deflationary

/dɪˈfleɪʃəneri/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or tending to cause deflation; reducing the general level of prices, wages, or economic activity in an economy.

Etymology

From deflation plus the adjective suffix -ary (relating to). Deflation itself comes from de- (down) and inflation (prices rising). The economic term emerged in the 20th century.

Kelly Says

During the Great Depression, deflationary economics meant prices kept falling, which sounds good but actually made people hoard money instead of spending it, hurting the economy even more!
