Tariff

The word tariff has its origins in Arabic ta’rif (information, notification, making known; an inventory of fees to be paid) and arafa (he made known, he taught).
 
The word tariff came to English in the 1590s meaning an arithmetical table, an official list of customs duties on goods for import or export, and a law regulating import duties. The word tariff came to English from Arabic via Latin tarifa (list of prices, book of rates) and Italian tariffa (price, assessment).
 
During the medieval period, Arabs dominated much of the trade and commerce in countries bordering the Mediterranean. “The word [tariff] passed to English from the commercial jargon of the medieval Mediterranean (compare garble, jar, average, orange, tabby, etc.)” (Online Etymological Dictionary).
