the.com/esteem

means Respect or high regard, especially the steady sense of worth you hold for someone — including, awkwardly, yourself.

from From Old French 'estimer', tracing back to Latin 'aestimare' — to appraise, assess, or set a price on something. The word started in the counting-house, literally about valuation and reckoning worth, before it drifted into the heart, becoming less about market price and more about the regard we assign to people — ourselves included.
