Interesting Words # 84 - Quantitative easing .

Quantitative easing is the act of printing more money to increase the supply.

(It effectively means that the central bank prints new money, in order to increase the supply of money. 'Quantitative' refers to the money supply; 'easing' essentially means increasing. I tried it once, but I was arrested.)
