price

price
{{11}}price (n.) early 13c., pris, from O.Fr. pris "price, value, wages, reward," also "honor, praise, prize" (Mod.Fr. prix), from L.L. precium, from L. pretium "reward, prize, value, worth," from PIE *preti- "back," on notion of "recompense" (Cf. Skt. aprata "without recompense, gratuitously," Gk. protei "toward, to, upon," Lett. pret "opposite," O.C.S. protivu "in opposition to, against").
PRAISE (Cf. Praise), price, and PRIZE (Cf. prize) began to diverge in Old French, with praise emerging in Middle English by early 14c. and prize being evident by late 1500s with the rise of the -z- spelling. Having shed the extra Old French and Middle English senses, the word now again has the base sense of the Latin original. Price-tag is recorded from 1881.
{{12}}price (v.) "to set the price of," late 14c., from PRICE (Cf. price) (n.). Related: Priced; pricing.
