English → English (gcide) Definition: lekin Likin \Li"kin`\, n. [Written also lekin.] [ Chin. li kin; li the thousandth part of a tael + kin money.] A Chinese provincial tax levied at many inland stations upon imports or articles in transit. [1913 Webster] “Likin,” which used to be regarded as illegal, as one of the many, “squeezes” imposed by the mandarins, is, in Jamieson's opinion, just as legal as any other form of taxation. --A. R. Colquhoun. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
