admonishv.Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French amonester. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French amonester, Middle French admonester, admonnester, ammonester, amonnester (French admonester , admonéter ) to exhort (c1170 in Old French as admonester ), to remind (end of the 12th cent.), to warn against, dissuade (13th cent. or earlier), to rebuke (end of the 13th cent.), to advise, recommend (1342), ultimately < classical Latin admonēre (also ammonēre ) to remind, to put in mind of, to advise, to urge, to warn, to inform, to rebuke ( < ad- ad- prefix + monēre to advise, warn: see moneo n.), perhaps with alteration after another Latin word (see note). Compare post-classical Latin amonestare (1158 in a Spanish source; apparently < a Romance form), Old Occitan amonestar, Catalan amonestar (13th cent.), Spanish amonestar (end of the 12th cent.), Portuguese admoestar (14th cent. as amoestar), Italian †ammonestare (13th cent.).The formation with -est- in the Romance languages may have arisen by association with e.g. classical Latin comest- , past participial stem of comedere to eat (see comestible adj.). Further possible (formal) models include classical Latin molestāre (see molest v.), as well as honestus honest adj. and admodestare (compare modest adj.). The α. and γ. forms reflect forms of the French verb. In the β. and δ. forms, the final -t was lost (perhaps after being reinterpreted as a form of the past participial ending: see -ed suffix1), and the suffix subsequently remodelled after -ish suffix1.
