(recommend)
suggest as suitable
Etymology
'recommend' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'recommendare,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'commendare' meant 'to entrust.'
'recommendare' transformed into the Old French word 'recomander,' and eventually became the modern English word 'recommend' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to entrust again,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to suggest or advise as a course of action.'
