A sparse man expresses himself with few words and does not usually transmit his emotions.
Parco is a term that comes from Latin. Specifically, we have to say that it derives from the Latin adjective "parcus", which can be translated as "austere." It is a word that, in turn, comes from the verb "parcere", which is synonymous with "save".
It is an adjective that qualifies a person who expresses himself with moderation , generally with few words . The usual thing is to associate the parsimonious individual with someone who is unsociable and withdrawn . For example: "He was a parsimonious man, who never transmitted his emotions," "You can't be so parsimonious!" I asked you several questions and you barely answered me with monosyllables , "My boss is parsimonious: he only speaks just enough to convey his orders."
The parsimonious individual and loquacity
Hence precisely why, colloquially and very frequently, it is said that someone is sparse in words . An example of this would be the following sentence: "Despite being a writer with great success and many awards, he does not like to expose himself to the public since due to his character he is quite sparse in words."
It could be said that the opposite of a parsimonious subject is the loquacious and eloquent person. Take the case of a man and his neighbors. With the person who lives in the house located to the left of his home, he barely exchanges greetings; With the individual who resides to his right, however, he usually talks for several minutes a day and has shared dinners on more than one occasion. Therefore, the man in question may consider one of his neighbors to be parsimonious, a characteristic not shared by his other neighbor.
Parkour, in Spanish, is often referred to as parco.

Nor can we ignore that in the field of sport the term parsimonious is used. Specifically, it is used to Spanishize the name of a discipline called parkour . This has thousands of followers around the world, which basically consists of moving the body in an appropriate and efficient way, while avoiding the different obstacles that may exist in any city.
Specifically, those who practice it consider that more than a sport it is an art, a form of expression. It should also be noted that it is believed to have its origins in a military training method, which used nature as a key element. We are referring to the so-called "Natural Method", which was created and developed by Georges Hébert as a result of the extensive time he spent living with indigenous people in Africa. And together with them he could see how their daily life was in permanent union with the environment: running, dancing, hunting...
