estimate (medicine)


estimate


A valuing or rating by the mind, without actually measuring, weighing, or the like; rough or approximate calculation; as, an estimate of the cost of a building, or of the quantity of water in a pond. "Weigh Success in a moral balance, and our whole estimate is changed." (J. C. Shairp)

Synonym: Estimate, Estimation, Esteem.

The noun estimate, like its verb, supposes chiefly an Exercise of judgment in determining the amount, importance, or magnitude of things, with their Other exterior relations; as, an estimate of expenses incurred; a true estimate of life, etc. Esteem is a moral sentiment made up of respect and attachment, the valuation of a person as possessing useful qualities or real worth. Thus we speak of the esteem of the wise and good as a thing greatly to be desired. Estimation seems to waver between the two. In our version of the Scriptures it is used simply for estimate; as, "If he be poorer than thy estimation." . In Other cases, it verges toward esteem; as, "I know him to be of worth and worthy estimation." . It will probably settle down at last on this latter sense. "Esteem is the value we place upon some degree of worth. It is higher than simple approbation, which is a decision of judgment. It is the commencement of affection." "No; dear as freedom is, and in my heart's Just estimation prized above all price." (Cowper)
