As a noun, it is from the Latin word vitium (WIH-tyum), meaning "fault.
So there is no other vice opposed to pettiness" ("Praeterea, cum parvificentia sit vitium ex defectu, ut dictum est, videtur quod, si aliquod vitium esset parvificentiae oppositum, quod consisteret solum in superabundanti consumptione.
Tenebras lux respuit omnes, / nec patitur secum vitium coalescere virtus, / stulticiam semper ratio aspernatur.
