Etymology of INTERPRETRESS

The word "interpretress" is derived from the combination of the root words "interpret" and the suffix "-ess".

The root word "interpret" can be traced back to the Latin word "interpretari", which means "to explain, interpret". This Latin word is derived from the Latin word "interpres", meaning "agent or translator".

The suffix "-ess" is used to form feminine words, indicating a female counterpart or a woman engaged in a particular occupation or role. It comes from Old French "-esse" and ultimately from Latin "-issa".

Therefore, "interpretress" is formed by combining the root word "interpret" with the suffix "-ess", resulting in a word that refers to a female interpreter or a woman who explains or interprets something.
