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。

英文词源
- esteem
- esteem: [15] Esteem and estimate [16] are fairly open about their relationship, but there is another, more heavily disguised member of the family: aim. All three come ultimately from Latin aestimāre. Estimate was a straightforward borrowing from the Latin past participle aestimātus, but esteem came via Old French estimer, and aim from the reduced Old French form esmer. Originally, esteem meant much the same as estimate does: ‘evaluate, assess’. But as early as the 16th century it had passed into ‘think highly of’ (a semantic development interestingly paralleled in the 20th century by rate).
=> aim, estimate - esteem (v.)
- mid-15c., from Old French estimer "to estimate, determine" (14c.), from Latin aestimare "to value, determine the value of, appraise," perhaps ultimately from *ais-temos "one who cuts copper," i.e. mints money (but de Vaan finds this "not very credible"). At first used as we would now use estimate; sense of "value, respect" is 1530s. Related: Esteemed; esteeming.
- esteem (n.)
- (also steem, extyme), mid-14c., "account, value, worth," from French estime, from estimer (see esteem (v.)). Meaning "high regard" is from 1610s.
