Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Latin verb 'appretiare' (to appraise, set a price on), combining 'ad-' (to) and 'pretium' (price). Entering English in the 17th century, the meaning evolved from placing a financial value on something to recognizing its worth, and eventually to expressing gratitude or enjoyment.
