köken: From Middle High German botech, boteche, Old High German botega, potacha (“large barrel”) (9th century). Primarily Upper German, likely loaned from a Late Latin variant of apothēca (“storage room, wine cellar”), in Middle Latin also "barrel, vessel, container", making it a doublet of Apotheke, Bodega, and Boutique, or from Latin butica, Late Latin buttis (“barrel”). The Old High German word was…
a tax added to the price when purchasing goods or services. · consumption tax, a tax levied on consumption of goods and services. · an indirect tax levied on consumption by the Japanese national government. (compare 地方消費税(ちほうしょうひぜい) (chihō shōhizei, “local consumption tax”))
köken: From 消費(しょうひ) (shōhi, “consumption”) + 税(ぜい) (zei, “tax”).
köken: The form lunter is thought to be older. Compare Ancient Greek λιντήρ (lintḗr). Traditionally said to derive from Proto-Indo-European *plew- (“to wash”) (more at pluit (“it rains”)) and to be related to Ancient Greek πλυντήρ (pluntḗr), but the loss of the p is unexplained.
