Etymology

The word 'apprise' originates from the late Middle English word 'appris', which is derived from Old French 'apprier', meaning 'to inform'. The etymology can be traced further back to the Latin word 'apprehendere', which means 'to seize or grasp'. Originally, the concept behind apprise was closely linked to the act of seizing attention or understanding in a communicative context. Over time, it evolved to specifically denote the act of informing someone or bringing something to their attention. The transition of 'apprise' from a term signifying a more general grasping to its current use indicates how language adapts to more precise contexts and meanings over centuries.
