Plural of fisc; multiple treasuries or government financial reserves, especially in medieval governmental contexts.
Plural form of 'fisc,' which comes from Old French 'fisce' and Latin 'fiscus' (originally 'basket,' then imperial treasury). The plural form appears primarily in historical or administrative contexts.
Medieval kings often had multiple 'fiscs'—separate treasuries for different purposes (war, religion, household)—rather than one unified budget, which is why managing kingdoms was such a complex financial puzzle before modern accounting.
