Etymology

The term 'tariff' originates from the Arabic word 'ta'arif', which means 'to notify' or 'to inform'. This term passed through Medieval Latin and Old Italian, where it was used to refer to a list of costs or rates for goods. In the context of international trade, tariffs have been a significant tool for governments to regulate commerce with foreign nations by imposing duties on imported goods. The concept has evolved over centuries, particularly as global trade has grown and as various countries negotiate trade agreements. Tariffed refers to the act of having a tariff applied, which can affect not just prices but also the dynamics of international relationships and market competition.
