esmer
Old French[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Latin aestimāre, present active infinitive of aestimō, possibly with the prefix ad- (cf. Medieval Latin adaestimare). Eventually replaced with a borrowing in Middle and modern French (estimer), as this word came too close in pronunciation to aimer (similar due to this word later became pronounced like modern *êmer).
Verb[edit]
esmer
Conjugation[edit]
This verb conjugates as a first-group verb ending in -er.
