1 weather; 2 climate; 3 pl. ṭuqūs, rite, ritual; 4 religious custom; 5 order of the ministry, clerical rank (Chr.) – WehrCowan1979.

▪ DRS 10 (2012)#ṬQS-1: Without doubt via Aram ṭeksā ‘order’, from Grk táxis ‘arrangement, an arranging, the order or disposition of an army, battle array; order, regularity’.
▪ The values [v1] ‘weather’ and [v2] ‘climate’ derive from the original ‘order, arrangement’ as short for *‘order of nature’ (Syr ṭeksâ kᵉyānāyâ), while [v3] ‘rite, ritual’ and [v4] ‘religious custom’ are short for *‘arrangement of religious performance, liturgical order’; [v5] is the *‘monastic order’.

▪ Cf. also Rolland2014a (with the same etymology as in DRS), adding that Grk táxis belongs to the vb. táss-ein ‘to draw up in order of battle, form, array, marshal’, IE *tāg- ‘to set aright, set in order’.

▪ From the same Grk etymon are western words like Engl taxi, taxis, hypo-, para-, chemotaxis, ataxia, taxeme, taxidermy, taximetre, taxonomy, tactics, etc.
