capable of evaluation
Etymology
'assess' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'assidere,' where 'ad-' meant 'toward' and 'sedere' meant 'to sit.'
'assidere' transformed into the Old French word 'assesser,' and eventually became the modern English word 'assess' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to sit beside or assist,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to evaluate or estimate the nature, ability, or quality of something.'
