How it's used
This term is almost exclusively used in formal or organizational contexts, such as government bodies or corporate committees. It functions as a modifier to indicate that a task or position is part of the regular, ongoing operations rather than an ad-hoc or special assignment. You will rarely hear it used to describe personal daily chores or casual routines.
Examples
