        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: To Appreciate, Estimate, Esteem.
  
     Usage: Estimate is an act of judgment; esteem is an act of
            valuing or prizing, and when applied to individuals,
            denotes a sentiment of moral approbation. See
            Estimate. Appreciate lies between the two. As
            compared with estimate, it supposes a union of
            sensibility with judgment, producing a nice and
            delicate perception. As compared with esteem, it
            denotes a valuation of things according to their
            appropriate and distinctive excellence, and not simply
            their moral worth. Thus, with reference to the former
            of these (delicate perception), an able writer says.
            ``Women have a truer appreciation of character than
            men;'' and another remarks, ``It is difficult to
            appreciate the true force and distinctive sense of
            terms which we are every day using.'' So, also, we
            speak of the difference between two things, as
            sometimes hardly appreciable. With reference to the
            latter of these (that of valuation as the result of a
            nice perception), we say, ``It requires a peculiar
            cast of character to appreciate the poetry of
            Wordsworth;'' ``He who has no delicacy himself, can
            not appreciate it in others;'' ``The thought of death
            is salutary, because it leads us to appreciate worldly
            things aright.'' Appreciate is much used in cases
            where something is in danger of being overlooked or
            undervalued; as when we speak of appreciating the
            difficulties of a subject, or the risk of an
            undertaking. So Lord Plunket, referring to an
            ``ominous silence'' which prevailed among the Irish
            peasantry, says, ``If you knew how to appreciate that
            silence, it is more formidable than the most clamorous
            opposition.'' In like manner, a person who asks some
            favor of another is apt to say, ``I trust you will
            appreciate my motives in this request.'' Here we have
            the key to a very frequent use of the word. It is
            hardly necessary to say that appreciate looks on the
            favorable side of things. we never speak of
            appreciating a man's faults, but his merits. This idea
            of regarding things favorably appears more fully in
            the word appreciative; as when we speak of an
            appreciative audience, or an appreciative review,
            meaning one that manifests a quick perception and a
            ready valuation of excellence.
