Is meager a synonym

Answer 1

Yes, the word meager is a synonym, i.e., a word whose meaning is similar to that of another word. And meager also has synonyms.

You can look at a group of synonyms like a herd of deer. Although each doe, buck, and faun in the herd is an individual, each is a deer and each deer has much in common with their fellows. Similarly, while each word in a synonymous group is distinct it has much in common with its herd of synonyms.

The word meager is a synonym for these words and more, depending on context: small, inadequate, poor, insufficient, mere, minimum, miserable, paltry, puny, scant, scanty, skimpy, sparse, tenuous, bare, deficient, inappreciable

And each of those words is a synonym for meager, too.
