      Removed, not because the word itself is inherently offensive, it’s not. It’s because the people who use it over “begrudgingly”, “stingy”, or “miserly” never do it out of good faith.

      https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/niggardly

      “The words niggard and niggardly are etymologically unrelated to the highly offensive and inflammatory racial slur euphemistically referred to as the N-word, despite the words’ visual and auditory resemblance to it. Because of that resemblance, however, both niggard and niggardly are often taken to be offensive.”

        just to set the record straight…

        I use the word, specifically to point-out that it’s UNrelated to the n-word.
