noununluxury (uncountable)
- uncountableAbsence of luxury.
I used to think that the pervading unluxury, which was not greatly alleviated in the chairman's sanctum, served the function of the disintegrating suit you wear on visits to the taxman: it made it harder to ask for another £25 advance when they couldn't even afford lino on the stairs.
1954-1990, Kingsley Amis, The Amis Collection: Selected Non-fiction page 32
