From the same root:
English: taximeter, taxation, tax- (-collector, -free, -payer etc), taxis, taxology, taxonomy, task.
French: taxer, taxation, taxe, taxi, taximetre, taxiphone, tache
Italian: tassare, tassazione, tasso, tassi
Spanish: tasar, tasacion, tasa, taxi, taximetro
German: taxieren, Taxierung, Taxe, Taxi, Taxameter
In modern Greek:

b) katatasso: classify, rate, rank, categorize, enlist [κατατάσσω]
c) taxinomisi: taxonomy [ταξινόμηση]
d) taxi: order, class [τάξη]
e) katataxi: classification, ranking, taring, enrolment [κατάταξη]
f) taxi: taxi [ταξί]
g) taximetro: taximeter [ταξίμετρο]
OED
