excise
의미: A tax levied on certain goods produced or sold within a country, such as alcohol, tobacco, and fuel; also, to cut out or remove surgically.
Excise has two distinct meanings from separate etymological roots. The tax sense refers to duties charged on domestic goods — in Britain, HM Revenue and Customs (formerly Customs and Excise) collects excise duties on alcohol, tobacco, fuel, and certain other goods. The surgical/editorial sense means to cut something out — a surgeon excises a tumour; an editor excises a paragraph. Common collocations include 'excise duty,' 'customs and excise,' 'excise tax,' and 'excise a passage.'

기원과 역사
The tax sense comes from Middle Dutch excijs (a tax), probably from Old French assise (a sitting, assessment). The surgical sense comes from Latin excidere (to cut out), from ex- (out) + caedere (to cut). Despite identical spelling, these are etymologically unrelated words.
