  • n. = Syn 1 and Estimate, Esteem, Estimation, Respect, Regard; honor, admiration, reverence, veneration. Estimate, both as noun and as verb, supposes an exercise of the judgment in determining external things, as amount, weight, size, value; or internal things, as intellect, excellence. It may be applied to that which is unfavorable: as, my estimate of the man was not high. Esteem as a noun has commonly the favorable meanings of the verb; it is a moral sentiment made up of respect and attachment, the result of the mental process of reckoning up the merits or useful qualities of a person: as, he is held in very general esteem. Estimation has covered the meanings of both estimate and esteem. Respect is commonly the result of admiration and approbation: as, he is entitled to our respect for his abilities and his probity; it omits, sometimes pointedly, the attachment expressed in esteem. Regard may include less admiration than respect and be not quite so strong as esteem, but its meaning is not closely fixed in quality or degree.
