The English term ''tariff'' derives from the {{Langx|fr|tarif|lit=set price}} which is itself a descendant of the {{Langx|it|tariffa|lit=mandated price; schedule of taxes and customs|translit=}} which derives from {{Langx|la-x-medieval|tariffe|lit=set price}}. This term was introduced to the [[Latin]]-speaking world through contact with the Turks and derives from the {{Langx|ota|تعرفه|lit=list of prices; table of the rates of customs|translit=taʿrife}}. This Turkish term is a [[loanword]] of the {{Langx|fa|تعرفه|translit=taʿrefe|lit=set price, receipt}}. The Persian term derives from {{Langx|ar|تعريف|translit=taʿrīf|lit=notification; description; definition; announcement; assertion; inventory of fees to be paid}} which is the verbal noun of {{Langx|ar|عرف|lit=to know; to be able; to recognise; to find out|translit=ʿarafa}}.<ref>[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=tariff The Online Etymology Dictionary: tariff.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004133019/http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=tariff |date=2012-10-04 }} The 2nd edition of the Oxford English Dictionary gives the same etymology, with a reference dating to 1591.</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Steingass |first=Francis Joseph |url=http://archive.org/details/cu31924026873194 |title=The student's Arabic-English dictionary. |date=1884 |publisher=London : W.H.
