prodigal definition

prodigal means a person who is major in age but is a habitual spendthrift or has extravagant habits and is adjudged by a court as being incapable of managing his assets;
prodigal is an English word that means recklessly extravagant, spending to the point of poverty. The dictionaries tell us that the word can be understood in a more negative or a more positive sense. The more positive meaning is to be lavishly and sacrificially abundant in giving. The more negative sense is to be wasteful and irresponsible in one’s spend- ing. (Some people think prodigal means ‘wayward,’ but there is no dictionary that indicates that the word means ‘immoral.’) The neg- ative sense obviously applies to the actions of the younger broth- er in the Luke 15 parable. But is there any sense in which God can be called ‘prodigal’? I think so.
prodigal means lavish, reckless, and wasteful. In verse 30, the Older Brother says he had wasted all of his inheritance on prostitutes!
