Etymology
1. c.1290, from O.Fr.
taxer "impose a tax" (13c.), from L.
taxare "evaluate, estimate, assess, handle," also "censure, charge," probably a frequentative form of
tangere "to touch" (see tangent). Sense of "burden, put a strain on" first recorded 1672; that of "censure, reprove" is from 1569. Use in Luke ii for Gk.
apographein "to enter on a list, enroll" is due to Tyndale. The noun is recorded from 1327.
Tax shelter is attested from 1961;
taxpayer from 1816.
2. From Middle English taxen, from Anglo-Norman taxer (“to impose a tax”), from Latin taxāre (“to handle, to censure, to appraise, to compute”). See: Middle English '
taxen', Anglo-Norman '
taxer', Latin '
taxō'.
