from From Latin eximere, 'to take out,' built from ex- ('out') plus emere ('to take, to buy'). That same emere quietly underlies words like 'redeem' and 'premium' — Latin's idea of 'taking' shaded easily into buying and obligation. An exemption, then, is something literally 'taken out' from the general lot, lifted clear of the burden the rest must carry. It reached English through the Latin noun exemptio, arriving via Old French in the late medieval period.
