A place where financial transactions occur; the practice or system of finance; a now-obsolete term for banking or money management.
From finance plus -ery (a place or practice of). An archaic English term that fell out of use as 'finance' and 'banking' became standard.
Financiery is almost extinct—it was gradually replaced by more efficient terms, showing how language streamlines when concepts become familiar and don't need ornate names.
French-influenced term with feminine undertones; reflects 18th–19th century practice of categorizing financial activities by gender of participants.
Use 'finance' or 'financial services' instead of gendered variants.
["finance","financial services","financial practice"]
Language separating 'women's finance' from mainstream finance legalized discrimination.
