英语词汇tariff的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	tariff
词源	tariff. According to one old tale, the island of Tarifa off the coast of Spain, where the Moors formerly levied taxes upon all who passed, is the source of our word tariff. A diverting story, but tariff has its ultimate roots in the Arabic tarif, “informa- tion,” which became the Old French tariffe, “arithmetic.”
