Origin:
The word "tare" originates from the Latin word "taxa," meaning "estimate, assessment." In the Roman Empire, "taxa" referred to various types of assessments and payments, including taxes and duties.
Over time, the word "taxa" evolved into "tasca" in Vulgar Latin, which was a predecessor to the various Romance languages, including French. In Middle French, "tasca" became "tasque," which entered English as "task" in the 14th century.
The word "tare" has been used to refer to a wide range of obligations and duties over the centuries. It has been used in a general sense to describe any piece of work or undertaking, and more specifically to refer to duties assigned to servants or workers, or to tasks imposed by a legal or moral authority.
