What does parsimony mean?
The quality of being economical in the use of resources, or the principle of making the fewest assumptions necessary to explain a phenomenon. It is also the quality of being simple and unadorned.
Example
"The new design was praised for its parsimony, using only the materials necessary to achieve its purpose."
