usury
This term carries a heavy moral and legal weight, typically appearing in contexts of exploitation or financial injustice. It describes a predatory relationship where the lender leverages the desperation of the borrower to extract excessive profit, evoking a sense of greed and systemic unfairness.
Grammatically, this noun is uncountable. It refers to the abstract practice or concept of charging excessive interest rather than a specific instance of a loan. Consequently, it cannot be pluralized and requires partitive constructions such as a case of usury if a specific occurrence needs to be highlighted.
