Etymology

The word 'apprised' is the past tense of the verb 'apprise', which traces its origin back to the late Middle English word 'apprisen', meaning to assess or value. The root of 'apprise' comes from the Latin 'apprehendere', which means to seize or grasp. This Latin term is also the source of other English words related to understanding and perception. Over time, 'apprise' evolved to focus on the act of informing or advising rather than its earlier connotations of evaluation or assessment. The transition reflects a usage shift in the English language toward clearer communication and the importance of being informed in various contexts.
