Etymology
The word 'disesteem' originates from the combination of the prefix 'dis-', meaning 'apart' or 'away', and the word 'esteem', which is derived from the Latin 'aestimare', meaning 'to value'. The term can be traced back to the early 17th century and has primarily been used in an introspective context. It reflects a societal judgment, indicating a shift in perception that can affect an individual's reputation and standing among peers. As society evolves, the principles behind esteem and disesteem may also change, often influenced by culture, norms, and communal values.
