Etymology
From the prefix 'ver-' (indicating a process) + 'Steuer' (tax) + the suffix '-ung' (nominalisation). It literally means 'the act of taxing'.
Memory Tips
'Steuer' sounds a bit like 'steer'. The government 'steers' your money away with taxes. The 'ver-' prefix turns it into the process of doing so.
