What does FISCAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to government money, especially taxes, public spending and the public debt.
The word comes from the Latin fiscus, a basket or purse, which in Rome became the name for the emperor's treasury. Today it is the standard word for matters of state budgets, and it is often set beside monetary, which concerns the supply of money and interest rates instead. A fiscal year is the twelve-month period a government or company uses for its accounts, and it need not start in January.
