[Verb] | "ad*mon*ish" | \ ad-ˈmä-nish \
1: to indicate duties or obligations to
2: to express warning or disapproval to especially in a gentle, earnest, or solicitous manner
3: to give friendly earnest advice or encouragement to
Origin: 14th century ;
Middle English amonysshen, admonisshen, amonescen, alteration (with assimilation to the verbal suffix -issh, -esce, borrowed from Anglo-French -iss-, going back to the Latin inceptive suffix -ēsc-, -īsc-) of amonesten, borrowed from Anglo-French amonester, going back to Vulgar Latin *admonestāre, probably derivative of *admonestus, past participle of Latin admonēre "to give a reminder to, give advice to, caution" (modeled on comestus, past participle of comedere "to eat up, consume") from ad- {see: |ad-|ad-} + monēre "to bring to the notice of, give warning" {mat|mind:1|};
* Note : The source of *admonestāre is uncertain. A cross between admonēre and molestāre, "to disturb, annoy, worry," has been hypothesized, though the lack of any Romance progeny for molestus, molestāre, etc., militates against the presence of this verb in proto-Romance.;
