Did You Know?
Adjective
Fiscal derives from the Latin noun fiscus, meaning "basket" or "treasury."
In ancient Rome, "fiscus" was the term for the treasury controlled by the emperor, where the money was literally stored in baskets and was collected primarily in the form of revenue from the provinces.
"Fiscus" also gives us our word confiscate, which now means "to seize"
but once referred to the forfeiting of private property to public use.
Today we find "fiscal" in a number of phrases,
including "fiscal year" (referring to a 12-month accounting period not necessarily coinciding with the calendar year)
and "fiscal cliff," a term that rose to prominence in the U.S. in 2012 when much attention was focused on a series of anticipated year-end tax increases and spending cuts.
