Of little value or cheap; relating to something costing five pennies (archaic British monetary term).
From 'five' + 'penny,' British coin terminology. Archaic descriptor for inexpensive items.
Before decimalization, British currency was a puzzle—fipenny worth would have been a specific tiny amount, and calling something 'fipenny' was like calling it 'two-buck' today—cheap and not worth much.
