History
Etymology
From Russian ТАСС (TASS), acronym of Телеграфное аге́нтство Советского Союза (Telegrafnoje agéntstvo Sovetskovo Sojuza).
From Hungarian Tass.
Partly from Middle English tas (“heap”), from Old French tas (“heap”), from Frankish *tas (“mass, pile”); and partly from Middle English taas (“heap, mow of corn”), from Old English tas (“heap, mow of grain”); both from Proto-Germanic *tasaz, *tassaz (“heap, mow, stack”), from Proto-Indo-European *deh2y- (“to divide, split, section, part, separate”). Related to Middle Dutch tas, tasse (“heap, pile”, Dutch tas), Middle Low German tas (“mow of hay or wheat”), Gothic 𐌿𐌽𐌲𐌰𐍄𐌰𐍃𐍃 (ungatass, “disorganised, irregular”); and possibly also to Old High German zetten (“to straw, fertilise”), Old Norse tað (“spread dung”). See tath.
From Middle English *tasse, from Old French tasse (Modern French tasse (“cup, cupful”)). Cognate with Dutch tas (“cup”), German Tasse (“mug”). Doublet of tazza.
From Middle English tasse, tache, from Old French tasse, tasche (“purse; pouch”), from Frankish *taskā (“pouch”), from Proto-Germanic *taskǭ, cognate with Old High German tasca (“pouch”), German Tasche (“pocket; pouch”).
From Hindi; compare तसर (tasar, “shuttle (weaving)”).
