fiscal
UK: ˈfɪsk(ə)l | US: ˈfɪsk(ə)l
adj. relating to government revenue, especially taxes or public funds
adj. involving financial matters, particularly those of an organization
The word "fiscal" traces back to the Roman Empire, where fiscus denoted the imperial treasury. Unlike aerarium (the public treasury), fiscus held the emperor’s personal wealth, later merging with state finances. By the 16th century, "fiscal" entered English via French, shifting from royal coffers to general government finance. The suffix -al solidifies its role as an adjective, linking it to monetary administration.
