詞態(tài)變化
助記提示
2. Originally, esteem meant much the same as estimate does: 'evaluate, assess'. But later it had passed into 'think highly of' (a semantic development interestingly paralleled by rate).
3. 由最初的本義“估計(jì)、評(píng)價(jià)”到后來(lái)引申為“很高的評(píng)價(jià)或估計(jì)”，既然對(duì)其評(píng)價(jià)很高自然就會(huì)很“尊敬，尊重，敬重”。
4. from *aes-timos [ aes (genitive aeris) "brass, copper" ] "one who cuts copper, one who cuts ore", 可能就是通過(guò)切開礦石或銅來(lái)鑒別、判斷礦石或銅質(zhì)量如何。
5. 諧音“愛死地母”-----愛死大地之神“地母”。
中文詞源
來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ)aestimare, 估計(jì)，評(píng)估，判定價(jià)值，來(lái)自aes, 銅，詞源同ore, -tim, 砍，切，詞源同anatomy. 原指鑄造銅幣，估計(jì)并判定幣值，該詞義見estimate.同時(shí)，引申義尊重，尊敬，即值得一看的，值得考慮的。

英文詞源
- esteem
- esteem: [15] Esteem and estimate [16] are fairly open about their relationship, but there is another, more heavily disguised member of the family: aim. All three come ultimately from Latin aestimāre. Estimate was a straightforward borrowing from the Latin past participle aestimātus, but esteem came via Old French estimer, and aim from the reduced Old French form esmer. Originally, esteem meant much the same as estimate does: ‘evaluate, assess’. But as early as the 16th century it had passed into ‘think highly of’ (a semantic development interestingly paralleled in the 20th century by rate).
=> aim, estimate - esteem (v.)
- mid-15c., from Old French estimer "to estimate, determine" (14c.), from Latin aestimare "to value, determine the value of, appraise," perhaps ultimately from *ais-temos "one who cuts copper," i.e. mints money (but de Vaan finds this "not very credible"). At first used as we would now use estimate; sense of "value, respect" is 1530s. Related: Esteemed; esteeming.
- esteem (n.)
- (also steem, extyme), mid-14c., "account, value, worth," from French estime, from estimer (see esteem (v.)). Meaning "high regard" is from 1610s.
