The comparison you make with "Steuer" is intriguing, but that's not the etymology of the word, just a coincidence. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steuer#Etymologie
I'm reminded of how the German word for "tax" is "Steuer", i.e. steering/control, which encourages smarter thinking about tax policy because it acknowledges precisely this effect on incentives.
