        1. shortening of taximeter cab.
        2. taximeter "automatic meter to record the distance and fare".
        3. Medieval Latin taxa "tax, charge."
        4. 音譯“的士”,這是按粵語音譯的,所以從普通話的角度看差異很大。我們經常說的“打的”,就是源自粵語。出租車在香港和廣東較早出現,于是粵語中也就相應地有了“搭的士”的說法,后來就簡化變成了“打的”。

        英文詞源


        taxi
        taxi: [20] Taxi is short for taximeter cab, a term coined around 1890 for a cab fitted with a taximeter, a device for showing the fare to be paid. Taximeter [19] was borrowed from French taximètre, a compound noun formed from taxe ‘charge, tariff’ (a relative of English tax) and mètre ‘meter’.
        => tax
        taxi (n.)

        An earlier English form was taxameter (1894), used in horse-drawn cabs. Taxi dancer "woman whose services may be hired at a dance hall" is recorded from 1930. Taxi squad in U.S. football is 1966, said to be 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.
