purser's

Vessel accountant's belonging

Purser's is the possessive form of purser, an officer on a ship or aircraft responsible for financial accounts, passenger services, and supplies.

The term appears in nautical expressions like purser's dip, a short candle issued to crew, and purser's grin, a forced or insincere smile—both suggesting stinginess associated with the role.
