What’s the origin of the word «TAXI»?

elroy

Moderator: EHL, Arabic, Hebrew, German(-Spanish)

Claudio Gerhardt said:

What’s the origin of the word «TAXI»?

taxi
1907, shortening of taximeter cab (introduced in London in March 1907), from taximeter «automatic meter to record the distance and fare» (1898), from Fr. taximètre, from Ger. Taxameter (1890), coined from M.L. taxa «tax, charge.» An earlier Eng. form was taxameter (1894), used in horse-drawn cabs. The verb is first recorded 1911, from earlier noun use as slang for «aircraft.» Taxicab is also first attested 1907. Taxi dancer «woman whose services may be hired at a dance hall» is recorded from 1930. Taxi squad in U.S. football is 1966, from a former Cleveland Browns owner who gave his reserves jobs with his taxicab company to keep them paid and available [«Dictionary of American Slang»], but other explanations (short-term hire or shuttling back and forth from the main team) seem possible.

From the OED Online:

Taxi-cab: [Short for TAXIMETER cab, and itself shortened to TAXI n.]

Taximeter: [ad. F. taximètre, f. taxe tariff + -mètre = —METER. The form taxameter, used a few years earlier, was from German: cf. med.L. taxa tax. (An earlier German name from c 1875 was taxanom.)]

EDIT: The date of first recorded use is 1907 from the Daily Chronical:

1907 Daily Chron. 26 Mar. 6/7 Every journalist..has his idea of what the vehicle should be called. It has been described as the (1) taxi, (2) motor-cab, (3) taxi-cab, (4) taximo,..(7) taximeter-cab.

Linnets

Hi. I’ve always thought that taxi derived from French taximètre or from German Taxameter, both from Medieval Latin taxa, from Classical Latin taxāre, «to value». Recently, I have found another hypothesis usually rejected as an after-the fact creation that is popular especially in Germany. It is about an Italian family called Tasso or de Tassis (probably a Latinized version of the surname) who had in their coat of arms a tower (torre) and a badger (tasso). These heraldical elements were the source for their Germanized surname Thurn und Taxis. They had the monopoly of the Imperial mail system from 1490 to 1867.

sokol

This theory is not mentioned on the German Wiki main page about Thurn und Taxis, but there’s a short reference to this in the related discussion. (An anonymous person suggests this etymology and asks for evidence of any kind but can’t offer any himself.)

Myself I’ve never heard about this etymology «taxi» < «Thurn und Taxis Post», and as their postal service was nationalised by the Prussian king in 1867 I think it will be very difficult to find any proof for this theory at all.
Also Kluge, Etymologisches Wörterbuch doesn’t even mention the «Thurn und Taxis» theory.

So I would reject this as folk etymology unless someone could come up with really good evidence.

They had the monopoly of the Imperial mail system from 1490 to 1867.

A little side note: The monopoly obviously existed only until the dissolution of the empire in 1806. The Thurn und Taxis mail continued to exist until 1867 but not as a monopoly.

I agree with Sokol that Thurn und Taxis>Taxi is most probably just folk etymology.

I have only found evidence for the German Wilhelm Bruhn as the inventor of the modern taximeter in the early 1890s (G: taxameter, F: taximètre), from which the word taxi was derived. Most dictionaries suggest the French word as the origin for the word taxi in English, while other languages may have taken it from English or French.

Presumably, Bruhn, or whoever held the German patent, would have named the contraption, and I am convinced that the most logical origin would be a Latin word for a fare-measuring device such as taxameter rather than Thurn & Taxis.

/Wilma

Side note:

Latin verb taxare probably originated from the Greek verb tassō τάσσω, fut. τάξω (= to arrange in orderly manner, also to assess); the related noun taxis τάξις, pl. τάξεις (= order, also duty) is strikingly similar to the word taxi.

Last edited: Jan 4, 2009

Taxare is obviously related to «tax».
However, there is also a prefix taxo-/taxi- of Greek origin, used in many European languages in words like «taxonomy» and «taxidermist»…

The word «taxi» also has this meaning: To move slowly on the ground or on the surface of the water before takeoff
or after landing.

What is the origin of this meaning?

I’ve always wondered this myself. It looks like it was aircraft slang that was adopted very soon after the motor vehicle use, as the OED gives these earliest dates:

1907 ‘taxi’ meaning a car for hire
1911 ‘taxi’ meaning a small passenger aeroplane [not used today]
1911 ‘taxi’ meaning driving an aeroplane along a runway

PaulQ

Hmm… on first sight and after a not-too-helpful trip to the OED, the idea of to taxi = Of an aeroplane, etc., or its pilot: to travel slowly along the ground or water under the machine’s own power. (my emphasis) is first recorded

«1911 Aeroplane 8 June 8/1 «The only way to get [his] ‘bus into the air is to ‘taxi’ to the sewage farm remou and get pulled off the ground by it!»

The verb seems to have come from the idea that taxis were distinguished from the various earlier, but then present, forms of horse-drawn cab, by the fact that they were «horseless» (cf ‘horseless carriage’ — an early term for a car) and moved by themselves — i.e. under their own power.

Thus to taxi was used to mean «under its own power» as opposed to «be towed/pulled/pushed by something else.»

Is there no relation to the Greek ταχύ-ς (tachus) «swift» (as in «tachycardia»)? I’ve found no documentation for this, but it would seem almost obvious.

PaulQ

I would not have thought so, as the definition of to taxi involves, «slowly»

I was thinking more of its beginning with «taxi-cab,» a vehicle which allows one to move faster (than walking). The taxiing an airplane does, while slower than taking off or landing is still rapid compared to walking. But there’s also the Greek «τάξις» (taxis) meaning arrangement, order, which seems to have little to do with vehicles.

The origin of Cab is abbreviation of Cabriolet (Shorter OED 1973 edn.). Orig. horse drawn passenger vehicle for public hire. Taxi is shortened version of taxi(meter)-cab. To taxi is to travel in a taxi-cab.

I always thought it was of Greek origin. And to take your post a little further, i always thought of the Greek word «taxidi», which means trip or journey. That has to be it.

The explanation in etymonline sounds sufficiently believable to me:

1911, of airplanes, from slang use of taxi(n.) for «aircraft,» or from or reinforced «in allusion to the way a taxi driver slowly cruises when looking for fares» [Barnhart].

As to the origin of the noun taxi, the given explanations make sense. The taximeter was invented in the 1880s by a German engineer Friedrich Wilhelm Gustav Bruhn who worked at the time for Ingenieurbüro Westendarp & Pieper in Hamburg. You can easily find references to the device under that name in official publication from the 1890s (example, example). As described, it is from med. Latin taxa + Greek metron. In German Taxe (< French taxe) means tariff, service charge or estimate of the the value of an object. Taxameter then entered French as taxametère where was «corrected» to taximètre by philologist Théodore Reinach to allude to the Greek noun taxis (see entry in in TLFi), from which the meaning taxe=estimate is probably derived. The word then entered English in this form.

The word «taxi» also has this meaning: To move slowly on the ground …

«TAXI» makes a joke in Greek if pronounced a-la-greca as ταχί, which means fast (although misspelled).
The origin of med.lat. «taxa» (tax) seems to be the Greek τάξις (order, class), used in biology for the taxo-nomy of organisms. Maybe from the classification of people in income categories, for the purpose of taxation. From v. τάσσω/τάττω (put in order).

I have heard that joke too. The point is that taxis in Greece actually have TAXI (in Latin script) written on them. The correct pronunciation is /taksi/ of course, but the proverbial illiterate Greek is imagined to pronounce it like ταχύ «fast».

And yes, «tax, taxonomy» etc. do derive from the Greek τάξις.

One day in early July 1894, two entrepreneurs from Hamburg named Bruhn and Westendorf attended a meeting at the Board of Trade in London concerning their device, called a taxameter-fare indicator.
[…]
The German name of Taxameter, at first adopted in Britain, was taken from Taxe, a charge or levy. After the device became common in Paris (another city that was well ahead of London), the French created the term taximètre for it, from taxe, a tariff (the e changed to i through the influence of the famous Hellenist Théodore Reinach in a letter to Le Temps newspaper in 1906, in which he advocated going back to the classical Greek taxis from which both the German and French words ultimately derived).
World Wide Words: Taxi

Moderator note: This thread resulted from a merger of two old threads which have been extended over the years. That is why explanations may at times be repetitive (like #18 and #21). They cover both, the noun taxi (as in taxicab) and the verb taxi (of an airplane).

Sorry for that.

The explanation in etymonline sounds sufficiently believable to me:

1911, of airplanes, from slang use of taxi(n.) for «aircraft,» or from or reinforced «in allusion to the way a taxi driver slowly cruises when looking for fares» [Barnhart].

If «taxi» as verb for moving planes comes from «in allusion to the way a taxi driver slowly cruises when looking for fares» or from slang use of taxi for aircraft, what was the word used before that then for planes’ slow-moving motion, if there was one?

before that then for planes’ slow-moving motion, if there was one?

How many airports with airplanes taxiing do you now that existed already before 1911?

Well, I wouldn’t have thought that even in 1911, many airplanes were taxiing … but if the word arose already in 1911, maybe some were?

Why should there have been a word for that? Maybe they just said «the plane moved at slow speed on the runway», or something like that.

^ Thanks, was just wondering if there was one. Maybe, there was none, the times didn’t demand one.

Источник

The name “taxi” is obviously shortened from “taxicab”, which is derived from the two words: “taximeter” and “cabriolet”. The taximeter was invented in 1891 and is used to record distances and calculate the fare. Cabriolet refers to a horse drawn carriage where the driver stands in the back of the carriage. The name “taximeter” itself is derived from the Mid-Latin “taxa”, meaning “tax or charge”. The first documented use of the word “taxicab” was in March of 1907 in London. Another phrase that derived from taximeter was a “taxi dancer”, which was a woman who sold her services at dance halls.

Can the taxi industry reclaim its name or is it too late?

The word taxi is synonymous with the Hackney Carriage industry across the globe, but where did the name come from, and why should it be jealously guarded by the industry in an age where lines are blurred and muddied by numerous factors.

To begin with, the question should not be where does the name come from, but what is a taxi.

A taxi, or taxicab to give the correct title, is a type of vehicle driven by an individual which is used to convey single or groups of people for hire and reward to a previously undetermined destination via an undetermined route.

The lack of a pre-determined destination and route means that a taxi differs significantly from other modes of public transport.

Although there are different definitions of what a taxi is, with the word now becoming a generic entity rather than a specific in most parts of the globe, it is generally recognised that a taxi in its truest definition is a Hackney Carriage.

The word «taxicab» was first used in London as early as 1907. Its etymology derives from an amalgam of the words «taximeter» and «cabriolet».

However, we do have to look to the German, Greek, Latin and French dictionary along with a number of different words to discover its true identity.

The word Taximeter is itself an adaptation of the German word taxameter, which in turn is a variant of the German word «Taxanom».

«Taxe» is a shortened version of taxanom meaning tax or charge, however, the Latin word «taxa» also means tax or charge.

Ultimately the word «taxi» may actually have its roots in the Ancient Greek language via the word «taxidi» meaning «journey».

The derivative of the word «meter» is a slightly easier nut to crack, with its origins taken from the Greek word «metron» meaning «measure».

Finally we have the word «cabriolet», which is a type of horse-drawn carriage, derived from the French word «cabrioler» meaning «leap».

This in turn comes from the Italian word «capriolare», meaning «to jump», ultimately deriving from the Latin word «capreolus».

The first documented public hackney carriage service was undertaken in London in 1605.

By 1625 carriages were made available for hire from innkeepers in London and the first taxi rank appeared on the Strand outside the Maypole Inn in 1636.

In 1635 the Hackney Carriage Act was passed by Parliament to legalise horse-drawn carriages for hire.

Further legislation to regulate hackney-coachmen in London was approved by Parliament in 1654. The first hackney-carriage licences were issued in 1662.

In an effort to navigate the gridlocked streets of London which ensued in the nineteenth century (yes, they had traffic jams back then), Joseph Hansom, an architect from York designed a two-wheeled vehicle which was maneouverable enough to negotiate London’s roads safely and much quicker than the four-wheeled hackney carriages. This vehicle was first seen in 1834 and subsequently replaced its much larger, more cumbersome counterpart.

At the end of the 19th century Walter C. Bersey developed and marketed the first electric cab, which made its debut on London’s streets in 1897. Due to its low pitched hum or whine it earned the nickname «The Hummingbird».

Over the decades taxis around the globe have evolved and developed via the use of both petrol and diesel engined vehicles and latterly hybrids as well as LPG, before going almost full circle and reverting back to electric powered drive-trains.

Taxis can be hailed or flagged down on the side of the road, or form a rank at designated taxi stands, unlike a private hire vehicle which can only be procured via a pre-booking system.

The word taxi, although used generically in the UK, is very specific in London. No private hire or minicab company within the metropolitan area of London is permitted to use the word to describe their service. Its use can potentially lead to a person or operators licence being brought into question.

Outside of London the lines have become blurred, in part due to the lack of legislation governing the name «taxi».

There is no trademark in relation to the name, despite the specific differences between the taxi and private hire industry. As a result, the taxi industry have seen the name exploited with impunity by the private hire industry to such an extent that it has now become common vernacular to call a private hire vehicle a «taxi» by the general public, in much the same way the name Hoover has become synonymous with the vacuum cleaner.

As a result of this, the taxi industry in London is slowly seeing the public and media organisations adopting the word to describe private hire vehicles, with the taxi industry seemingly having no way of addressing the issue.

So despite the fact that there are clear differences between the two industries it could be argued that the name «taxi» may eventually be lost to its rightful owner, primarily due to the perception of parties outside of both the taxi and private hire industry rather than by definition.
