Repute

/rɪˈpjuːt/ noun, verb

Definition

One's reputation or the way people perceive you; as a verb, to consider or think of someone as something.

Etymology

From Old French 'reputer' and Latin 'reputare' (re- + putare, 'to think'). Literally meant 'to think back over' or 'reckon,' evolving to mean the general estimation of a person's character.

Kelly Says

The root 'putare' means 'to prune' or 'think'—Romans saw thinking as a kind of pruning, cutting away the false to reach truth. Your 'repute' is society's collective pruning of who they think you are!
