- 1估計；估算；(in one's estimation)依某人看法
Estimation is a careful guess at the size, amount, value, or quality of something, without measuring it exactly — "by my estimation, it'll take two hours." The phrase "in my estimation" is a slightly formal way to say "in my opinion" or "in my judgment," especially about someone's worth or ability.
From the word’s history
From Middle English estimacioun, from Old French estimacion, from Latin aestimatio; estimate + -ion.
經古法文 estimacion 來自拉丁文 aestimatio。
組成estimate (to guess a value) + -ion (turns it into a noun).
