esteem
英 [ɪ'stiːm; e-]
美 [ɪ'stim]
助记提示
1. estimate => esteem.
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. 由最初的本义“估计、评价”到后来引申为“很高的评价或估计”，既然对其评价很高自然就会很“尊敬，尊重，敬重”。
4. from *aes-timos [ aes (genitive aeris) "brass, copper" ] "one who cuts copper, one who cuts ore", 可能就是通过切开矿石或铜来鉴别、判断矿石或铜质量如何。
5. 谐音“爱死地母”-----爱死大地之神“地母”。
