Old French

Etymology

From Late Latin or Vulgar Latin est?, from Latin st?. Forms in -ois-, -ac-, and -ui/-eü-/-i-/-ont originates from Vulgar Latin *stite?, *stati?, and *ste? (perfect *stu?), all come from Latin stit?, statum, and st?. The second- and third-singular indicative present forms indicates that the original stress are always in the last syllable, even being affected by addition of epenthetic *i- before initial consonant clusters involving -s- (stresses are in bold, st?s ? *ist?s ? estas, estais, not *ist?s ? *eistes). Compare with estre, whose later merged and resulting some forms reflecting the forms of ester.

Hungarian

Alternative forms

• estve (folksy, archaic)

Etymology

The adverb sense is from the former est (“evening”) +? -vel (“with”) (a derivation similar to reggel or tavasszal). First the final -l wore off and the adverb estve (“in the evening”) was used for a long time (still in use today in dialects), later the -v was dropped. The noun sense became independent from the compound word napeste (“the fall of the sun”). The noun est is from the es- stem of the verb esik (“to fall”) +? -t (noun-forming suffix). The es- stem is from Proto-Uralic *e??- (“to fall”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [???t?]
• Hyphenation: es?te
• Rhymes: -t?

Adverb

este (not comparable)

1. in the evening (from approximately 6 p.m. until going to bed; depends on working hours, daylight length, etc.)
