Etymology
1. c.1450, from M.Fr.
estimer, from L.
æstimare "to value, appraise," perhaps ult. from
*ais-temos "one who cuts copper," i.e. mints money. At first used as we would now use
estimate; sense of "value, respect" is 1532.
2. First at end of 16th century; borrowed from Middle French estimer, borrowed from Latin aestimō.
3. See estimate and aim, an older word, partly a doublet. See: Middle French '
estimer', Latin '
aestimō'.
