Retrenchment
Retrenchment is the act of retrenching; a cutting down or off, as by the reduction of expenses.
Paul’s testimony is Ephesus riled local merchants, most notably Demetrius, because it caused a severe retrenchment in the once profitable silver business. The silver was used to construct idols to worship Artemis (aka), a service that new Christians would no longer need. (Acts 19:22-41)
