Etymology

The term 'apprize' originates from the Middle English term 'apprisen', which is derived from the Old French 'appriser', meaning 'to assess' or 'to value'. This itself has roots in the Latin 'appretiare', where 'ad-' means 'to' and 'pretium' means 'price'. The word has evolved over the centuries to signify the formal process of evaluating the worth of objects or situations. In modern usage, it especially pertains to the appraisal process in real estate, art, and other valuables, where a professional judgment is necessary to determine value. The term is relatively less common than its synonym 'appraise', yet it retains a significant place in formal contexts where assessments are documented.
