budgetary
UK: ˈbʌdʒɪtəri | US: ˈbʌdʒɪteri
adj. relating to or involving a budget
adj. pertaining to financial planning or allocation of resources
The word "budgetary" derives from "budget," which originally meant "a pouch" or "wallet" (from Old French "bougette," a diminutive of "bouge," meaning "leather bag"). By the 18th century, "budget" evolved to signify a financial plan, reflecting the idea of allocating resources stored in a metaphorical pouch. The suffix "-ary" (from Latin "-arius") transforms the noun into an adjective, indicating a relationship to the root concept. Thus, "budgetary" describes anything connected to financial planning or budgets.
