Etymology

[edit]

From Old Latin aestumāre, from Proto-Italic *aistomāō, whose origin is uncertain. Usually explained as aes (copper, bronze) +‎ *temos (cut), so “one who cuts copper”, meaning one in the Roman Republic who mints money. The second element is then from Proto-Indo-European *temh₁- (to cut).

However, De Vaan finds this improbable and instead proposes a connection with Proto-Indo-European *h₂eys- (to seek), found in aeruscō (to beg).[1]
