Derived from 'task' (from Old Northern French tasque, ultimately from Latin taxare) and 'force' (from Old French force, from Late Latin fortia meaning strength). Originally a military term in the mid-20th century denoting a temporary grouping of naval units for a specific operation, it evolved in general administration to mean any dedicated committee or specialized group assembled for a specific project.
