aestimo

Latin

Alternative forms
  • aestumō

Etymology

From Old Latin aestumāre, whose origin is uncertain. Usually explained as aes (“copper, bronze”) +‎ *temos (“cut”), so “one who cuts copper”, meaning one in the Roman Republic who mints money. The second element is then from Proto-Indo-European *temh₂- (“to cut”).

However, De Vaan finds this improbable and instead proposes a connection with Proto-Indo-European *h₂eys- (“to seek”) found in aerusco (“to beg”).[1]

Pronunciation
