Etymology of DIS ESTEEMS

The word "disesteems" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "dis" and "esteem".

1. "Dis": The prefix "dis-" comes from Latin and Old French origins, ultimately from the Latin prefix "dis-", meaning "apart" or "opposite". It is often used to indicate negation or reversal.

2. "Esteem": The word "esteem" comes from the Old French word "estimer", which has its roots in the Latin word "aestimare" meaning "appraise" or "value". Over time, "esteem" evolved to mean holding someone or something in high regard, valuing them, or having a favorable opinion.

By combining the negating prefix "dis-" with "esteem", the word "disesteems" is formed to express the opposite meaning of "esteem".
