reputations の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語reputatioに由来し、re-（再び）＋putare（考える）＋-ationから成ります。「繰り返し考えられること」が転じ、周囲からの長期的な評価＝「評判」という意味に定着しました。同語根にcompute（計算する）やdispute（議論する）があります。
Reputations is the regular plural of reputation. Reputation entered English through French and Latin reputatio, related to reputare, “to consider or reckon.” That verb contains re-, conveying repeated or intensive consideration, and putare, “to reckon or think.” The sense developed from consideration or estimation to the settled opinion that others hold about a person, group, or institution over time.
