I got nothin’.

paucity (pau·ci·ty): / PAW si tee /
noun

(1) lack or smallness of quantity; an inadequacy of something; dearth; scarcity
(2) insufficiency or smallness of number; fewness

[From Middle English ‘paucite,’ possibly via Old French paucité, from Latin paucitas meaning “fewness,” a derivative of paucus meaning “few or little.”]

Usage: [via] Anyway, there wasn’t really a point to the story other than to explain why the last few days have been marked by paucity.
