aestimo

== Latin == === Alternative forms === aestumō === Etymology === From Old Latin aestumō, from Proto-Italic *aistomāō, 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 *temh₁- (“to cut”). However, De Vaan finds this improbable and instead proposes a connection with Proto-Indo-European *h₂eys- (“to seek”), found in aeruscō (“to beg”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈae̯s.tɪ.moː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɛs.ti.mo] === Verb === aestimō (present infinitive aestimāre, perfect active aestimāvī, supine aestimātum); first conjugation to determine the value of something; value, price, rate, appraise, assess; estimate, reckon, consider, judge to estimate the moral value of something; hold, weigh, value ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== aestimātōrius ==== Descendants ==== === References === “aestimo”, in Charlton T.
