Of Usury, from Brant’s Stultifera Navis (the Ship of Fools); woodcut attributed to Albrecht Dürer
Usury /ˈjuːʒəri/ is the practice making loans with excessive or abusive interest rates. The term may be used in a moral sense — condemning taking advantage of others misfortunes — or in a legal sense where interest rates may be regulated by law. Historically some cultures have regarded charging any interest for loans as sinful and some still do today.
