Derived from 'taxi', an abbreviation of taxicab (from German 'Taxameter', a measuring device, ultimately from Medieval Latin 'taxa' meaning tax or charge), combined with 'passenger' (from Middle French 'passager', from 'passage'). The compound term emerged in the early 20th century with the widespread adoption of motorized taxicabs in urban transportation networks.
