Origin

Late 16th century (also denoting an arithmetical table): via French from Italian tariffa, based on Arabic ‘arrafa 'notify'.

A tariff once referred to an arithmetical table. It came via French from Italian tariffa, based on Arabic ′arrafa ‘notify’. The word came to be used for a list of customs duties, but it was not until around 1890 that the sense ‘classified list of charges’ in a hotel or other business came into common English use (although more frequent earlier in Europe and the US).
