rate

rate: English has two words rate. The commoner, ‘relative quantity’ [15], comes via Old French rate from medieval Latin rata ‘calculated, fixed’, as used in the expression pro rata parte ‘according to a fixed part, proportionally’. This was the feminine form of ratus, the past participle of rērī ‘think, calculate’, from which English also gets ratio, ration, reason, etc.

The other rate, ‘scold’ [14], is now seldom encountered except in its derivative berate [16]. It is not certain where it comes from, although a possible source is Old French reter ‘accuse, blame’, which comes from Latin reputāre (ancestor of English reputation).
=> ratio, ration, reason; berate

rate (n.)

"estimated value or worth," early 15c., from Old French rate "price, value" and directly from Medieval Latin rata (pars) "fixed (amount)," from Latin rata "fixed, settled," fem. past participle of reri "to reckon, think" (see reason (n.)). Meaning "degree of speed" (properly ratio between distance and time) is attested from 1650s. Currency exchange sense first recorded 1727. First-rate, second-rate, etc. are 1640s, from British Navy division of ships into six classes based on size and strength. Phrase at any rate originally (1610s) meant "at any cost;" weakened sense of "at least" is attested by 1760.

rate (v.1)

"to scold," late 14c., probably from Old French reter "to impute blame, accuse, find fault with," from Latin reputare "to count over, reflect," in Vulgar Latin, "to impute, blame" (see reputation). Related: Rated; rating.

rate (v.2)

"estimate the worth or value of," mid-15c., from rate (n.). Intransitive sense of "have a certain value, rank, or standing" is from 1809; specifically as "have high value" from 1928. Related: Rated; rating.

estimate, appraise, assess, evaluate, value, rate

这些动词均有"估价，估计"之意。

estimate： 通常指由个人作出的主观估价。

appraise： 指以专家身份作了最终精确的估价。

assess： 原义指对为确定交多少税而估计，引申指通过估价以便更好利用。

evaluate与appraise相似，指使判断绝对准确，但多用于对人物的某方面的评价，很少用于评价某物的市场价值。

value： 侧重指一般人对某物的价值或价格所作的估计。

rate： 专指评定价值等级的高低。

speed, rate, velocity, pace

这些名词均含"速度，速率"之意。

speed： 普通用词，指单位时间内行进的固定速度或速率，也指可能达到的最高速度。

rate作"速度"讲时，与speed同义，可换用。作速率解时，指相对增长的速度，也指两种相比较而得出的标准速度。

velocity： 技术用词，指物体沿着一定方向运动时的速率。

pace： 普通用词，指步行的速度，常引申指活动的进度或生产率。
