This week’s obscure English word is fisc. It is an older word meaning a state or royal treasury, derived from the Latin fiscus. The more common term ‘fiscal’, as in government spending policy, is related to it.
Your challenge: write a sentence or two in the comments using this word.

Matthew, for the heck of it, have you ever tried to compose a sentence or two with nothing but these obscure words?

No – too difficult! Of course, others may wish to take up that challenge… (Apologies for the delay replying – my time on social media has had to take second place to other priorities of late).

It sounds kind of derogatory. That dang fisc and their dang monetary policies.

Thankfully the treasury wasn’t impacted by the current and sudden volatility in the frisbee golf supply shortage… thought it did lead astray some MPs missing votes: Brisk, frisky disc risk misses fisc, whisks bisques amiss.
