fiscally
UK: ˈfɪskəli | US: ˈfɪskəli
adv. in a way that relates to government revenue, especially taxes
adv. in a financially prudent or budget-conscious manner
The word "fiscally" derives from the Latin "fiscus," meaning "public treasury" or "money basket." The suffix "-ly" is an Old English adverbial marker, turning the adjective "fiscal" into an adverb. Historically, "fiscal" referred to matters of state finance, particularly taxation. Over time, its usage expanded to include broader financial responsibility, giving "fiscally" its modern dual meaning of both governmental finance and general budgetary prudence.
The government must act fiscally to avoid a budget deficit.

Fiscally conservative policies often prioritize tax reductions.
