Etymology
1. 1655, "to esteem or value highly," from L.L.
appretiatus pp. of
appretiare "to set a price to" (see appraise). Meaning "to rise in value" (intr.) first recorded 1789.
Appreciation "high estimation" is from 1650; meaning "expression of one's estimate of something" (usually favorable) is from 1858.
2. Originated 1645–55; from Medieval Latin appreciātus (“valued or appraised”), later variant of Late Latin appretiātus (“appraised”), the perfect passive participle of appretiō (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from a(d) (“toward”) + preti(um) (“price”) + -ō (first conjugation verb-forming suffix).
3. Cognate to French apprécier. Latin root also origin of English appraise, which has various Romance cognates; see also precious. See: French '
apprécier'.
