'+Geographical/Regional usage+':

'+Description+': Calling 'economer' a Loan Term is being linguistically kind to it! The term 'economer' does not exist in English, and is a case of inter-lingual misformation: the base morpheme 'econ' is recognisable, but a translator somewhere along the way has mis-selected the suffix, possibly thinking of a calque on the Italian ''economo'' (A calque is a direct translation of a loan term). The Italian term goes back to the origins of the Congregation, however. While the term will always be understood within the confines of Salesian discourse, it may not be so easily understood beyond it. Salesian Provinces where English is spoken as a first language tend not to use it (except for 'Economer General' and 'Provincial Economer' which are too ingrained now to alter) and instead employ terms like 'bursar' or 'administrator' or even 'treasurer' according to local custom. Many other provinces where English is one of the principal languages, remain with 'economer' even at local level.
