Literary notes about FISCAL (AI summary)

The word "fiscal" in literature is most frequently used to designate specific financial periods or administrative time frames, as seen in numerous examples such as the detailed reporting periods of organizations ([1], [2], [3], [4]). In works like All About Coffee, fiscal years are meticulously indicated—often differentiating them from calendar years—to provide clear temporal boundaries for data, reports, or export figures ([5], [3], [4], [6], [7]). Additionally, historical narratives, notably those by Thomas Carlyle, utilize the term to refer to regulatory edicts or statutes, thereby associating it with governmental authority and administrative order ([8], [9], [10]). There is also an instance of playful repetition in Doña Perfecta ([11], [12]), and its usage extends to legal titles such as Procurator Fiscal in Scottish contexts ([13]). Collectively, these examples demonstrate that while "fiscal" is primarily technical—denoting periods related to financial accounting—it occasionally takes on broader connotations of authority and administrative precision.
