Etymology

The word 'revenuer' has its roots in the Middle French word 'revenu', meaning 'income' or 'revenue', derived from the Latin 'revenire', which means 'to come back' or 'to return'. The evolution of the term reflects the growing importance of taxation and revenue collection in organized governance, especially as states began to formalize these roles in modern government structures. In the United States, the term gained notoriety during the Prohibition era (1920-1933), when revenuers were tasked with enforcing laws against the illegal production and sale of alcohol, making it a significant part of the social lexicon of the time. The term has gradually fallen out of common use but remains a historical reference in discussions of taxation and law enforcement.
