The word |Tack| sits at the peak of the tower high above either the proto-word *tag- (which evolved through ancient words that mean "Prong, Spike, Nail, Fastener" ... evolving into a word for "Attach" & a word for "Using Ropes on a Ship's Sails to Take Advantage of a Side-Wind" (hence the noun-sense for "a Course-of-Conduct or Mode-of-Action Suited to some Purpose"))
or a shortening of the word Tackle "in the sense of 'Equipment' or '|Gear'" (which evolved through either ancient words that mean "Horse's |Harness-etc." or ancient words that mean "Sailor's Bread, |Ration-Quality Food" (a form which might also be a variant of "Tact")).
