The word is a shortened form of "assess". The spelling is due to a mistaken connection with ''census''. It was the official term used in Ireland when it was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland but has been superseded by the " rate". The term was formerly particularly applied to local taxation. In the British Raj, it was applied, with a qualifying prefix, to any taxation, such as irrigation-cess and educational-cess. They are collectively referred to as "cesses" in government censuses: "land revenue and cesses".
