This type of tax is often levied on goods produced or sold within a country's boundaries, such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco, fuel, or luxury items.

It can refer to the process of deleting or excluding certain parts from a piece of text, or the practice of eradicating corruption or inefficiency from an organization or system.

Etymology of EXCISE

The word "excise" originated from the Middle Dutch word "excijs" and the Middle French word "accise". Both of these terms were derived from the Late Latin word "accensare", meaning "to tax". The Latin word itself was a combination of the prefix "ad" (meaning "to") and the verb "censere" (meaning "to assess"). Over time, the spellings and pronunciations of the word evolved into "excise" in English, referring specifically to a duty or tax on certain goods.
