Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
Did you know?
Exact derives from a form of the Latin verb exigere,
meaning "to drive out, to demand, or to measure."
(Another descendant of exigere is the word exigent,
which can mean "demanding" or "requiring immediate attention.")
Exigere, in turn, was formed by combining
the prefix ex- with the verb agere, meaning "to drive."
Agere has been a prolific source of words for English speakers;
it is the ancestor of agent, react, mitigate, and navigate,
just to name a few.
Incidentally, if you are looking for a synonym of the verb exact,
you could try demand, call for, claim, or require.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
Do you exact or extract revenge?
Verb
The verb exact (as in, "exacting revenge" or "exacting a promise")
is not as commonly encountered as the adjective exact,
(as in "an exact copy" or "exact measurements").
Sometimes people will mistakenly use
the more common verb extract when they really want exact.
Extract can refer to removing something by pulling or cutting
or to getting information from someone who does not want to give it.
While both words refer to
getting something they are used in different ways.
You extract a tooth, but you exact revenge.

Usage Notes
'Exact Same': A Useful Idiom
It's redundant but harmless.
It's easy to nitpick the use of the phrase
"the exact same" as being redundant.
After all, if two things are said to be the same,
they resemble each other in every respect
and, thus, they are exact.
However, redundancy is only part of the issue with "exact same."
(Please, hear us out.)
For one thing, exact appears to be modifying the adjective same,
in which case exact would then be an adverb
(much like very in "I have the very same sweater").
Considering that the expression "exact same"
is a truncation of "exactly the same,"
in which exactly functions as an adverb, that's reasonable.
But here's the catch:
unlike exactly, exact is not an adverb.
Thus, the use of exact is purely idiomatic
—that is, it doesn't fit into normal rules of syntax.
It is also possible to interpret
both exact and same as adjectives modifying a noun.
The two words of the phrase are often transposed
—for instance, you may encounter "the same exact thing."
Such interchangeability strongly suggests that
both words are functioning as adjectives.
In addition, other adjectives also
sometimes occur with same in similar constructions,
such as "the same identical."
If they are both adjectives,
they certainly can be called redundant, but is redundancy all that bad?
Writing handbooks will tell you that, yes, it is;
however, at times, it can be useful.
Words that mean essentially the same thing
are often used together for emphasis,
and, in some cases, their occurrence is so commonplace
that they are overlooked as redundant
and are considered ... well, harmless at the very least.
For example,
take the following:
"future plans,"
"mix together,"
"completely surrounded,"
"close proximity,"
"past history,"
"refer back,"
"final destination/result."
Common and generally acceptable constructions, right?
"Exact same" tells the reader or listener that you mean same
in its most literal sense
and do not mean that the two things
are simply very similar but are exact.
Ultimately, whether exact in "exact same" is a redundant adjective
or an idiomatic adverb is of secondary importance.
The primary question is
whether the phrase is used by educated speakers and writers,
and the answer to that question is yes.
"Exact same" is, in fact,
extremely common in speech and in informal writing,
and its use in suitable contexts cannot be called inappropriate.
Here are some examples:
The exact same treatment that is able to thwart breast cancer
has a dark side—it can fuel the spread of the disease to the lungs.
— USA Today, 1 Oct. 2017
Of course you're free to complain if it still bothers you,
but we'll just have the exact same answer.
