You asked for it:

"A taxi, on the other hand, is not a kind of carriage. It is an abbreviation of taximeter, which was a device used to indicate, in a hired carriage, the distance traveled and the fare due. Taximeter dates from the late 19th century, and it was borrowed from French taxim&egrave;tre, formed from taxe "tariff" and m&egrave;tre "meter". It was shortened to taxi in the early 20th century."

You're welcome. :p
