Best Answer

The word taco comes from the Spanish word, wad or plug. this word is referring to the wad that goes into a musket.

Another Perspective:

The true origin is unclear but there is no lack of theories. A very plausible one is that it derives from the Spanish word, tac, which refers to a short thick piece of stone, wood, or metal driven into a hollow place to fill, seal, or block the space.
