Biography ??
The term cess (a shortened form of assess; the spelling is due to a mistaken connection with census), is generally a tax. It is a term formerly more particularly applied to local taxation, in which sense it is still the official term used in Ireland; otherwise it has been superseded by "rate". In India it is applied, with the qualifying word prefixed, to any taxation, such as irrigation-cess,educational cess and the like. In Scotland, it refers to the land value tax.
In North America it is also used as a slang term for cannabis. Credit DJ Rob Base in the song "It Takes Two"
Also means luck. Sample usage: "he shouldered the baggage, wished good cess to the wise jackass, and ..." (Dominic, p. 50, by William Steig, 1984).
