Possibly from Middle Dutch economie, from Middle French economie, from Latin oeconomia, from Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomía, “management of a household, administration”), from οἶκος (oîkos, “house”) + νόμος (nómos, “law”). By surface analysis, eco- + -nomie. The first recorded sense of the word economie, found in a work possibly composed in 1440, is “the management of economic affairs”, in this case, of a monastery.
