The answer

CHEAP

What cheap means

Costing very little money or less than usual, or of poor quality because it was made inexpensively.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English "chepe," meaning "bargain" or "good deal," which came from Old English "ceap," meaning "to buy" or "to sell." This Old English word derived from Proto-Germanic "kaupaz," related to trading and commerce. The sense shifted over time from the act of buying to something easily obtained at low cost, eventually meaning inexpensive or of little value.
