prețpriceEtymology
Aprecia entered Romanian from French apprécier, part of the wave of French borrowings that reshaped Romanian vocabulary in the 19th century. Apprécier itself descends from Latin appretiare, a verb built from the prefix ad- and pretium, meaning price. So the word's core sense is to set a price or value on something, which later widened to esteeming or judging in general.
