Word origin
The word 'assess' comes from the Old French word 'assesser', which means 'to tax or assess'. It originated from the Latin word 'assessus', past participle of 'assidere', meaning 'to sit by' or 'to assist in the office of a judge'. The term evolved over time to include the broader sense of evaluation and estimation.
