/ˈɛkˌsaɪz/

Forms: Also Middle English, 1600s excyse, 1600s accize, 1600s–1700s accise.

Etymology: apparently < Middle Dutch excijs, exziis (1406 in Keurboeken van de Stad Leiden 14), also accijs , probably < Old French acceis tax (12th cent., rhyming with defeis < Latin defēnsum ) or some earlier form < late Latin type *accēnsum , verbal noun < accēnsāre to tax (whence Old French accenser , acenser ), < ad to + cēnsus tax: see census n.Old French had also the learned form accens , whence probably Middle Dutch excijns , exchijns , modern Dutch accijns . For the treatment of late Latin or primitive Romanic ē(n)s in early adoptions into Dutch, compare Dutch spijs viand, representing late Latin expēnsa , and cijns representing Latin cēnsus . The modern French accise occurs only with reference to the Low Countries and England, and is probably adopted < Dutch. A medieval Latin accisia is mentioned by Du Cange (who gives no quots.) as occurring in imperial documents as a variant of assisa (see assize n.); this may be a latinization of the Middle Dutch word. In Dutch the two words accijs ‘excise’ and assijs ‘assize’ have been to a great extent confused, having both the meaning ‘tax’; the Dutch etymologists regard the former as a corruption of the latter, and the form accijns as a further corruption due to confusion with cijns , Latin census . By Latin writers in the Low Countries (16–17th cent.) the word is often rendered by excensus . The notion of derivation < Latin excīsum ‘something cut out’ (compare excise v.¹) may have been the cause of the substitution of ex- for ac- in the Middle Dutch form.
