    Etimology of Excise

    (You may find excise at the world legal encyclopedia and the etimology of more terms).

    tax on goods, late 15c., from Middle Dutch excijs (early 15c.), apparently altered from accijs “tax” (by influence of Latin excisus “cut out or removed,” see excise (verb)), traditionally from Old French acceis “tax, assessment” (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *accensum, ultimately from Latin ad “to” (see ad-) + census “tax, census” (see census). English got the word, and the idea for the tax, from Holland.
