The meaning of the word assessment

If you’ve grown up in an English speaking school, or maybe depending on what job you have, you have probably heard the word assessment before. It’s a very helpful word in the English language that has a lot of practical potential.

This word does have a couple of different definitions, and both of them have utility in your writing and your everyday life. So it’s a great idea to understand both so you can successfully communicate with the people you need to.

So today’s word of the day is assessment. By the end of this short guide, you’ll have a solid understanding of the word assessment, its definitions, its etymology, and how to use it. Let’s get started. 

What Is the Meaning of the Word Assessment?

The definitions of the word assessment, pronounced əˈsesmənt or əˈsɛsmənt, are relatively simple. And although the two definitions are similar, there are some distinctions that make them different. Here are the definitions of the word assessment. 

  • The act of considering or judging the information, quality, and quantity of something to determine its value or make a decision; the decision that is made from a consideration process
  • A test that is designed to judge someone’s skill or knowledge in a subject or variety of subjects

The first definition centers around decision-making and assigning value to something. Assessment can be the act of judging someone or something, but the word can also refer to the final decision that the valuation, analysis, or assessment process leads to. 

The second definition refers to a test. In this context, an assessment is a testing process wherein an assessor can judge the skill or aptitude of the assessed person.  

How Is the Word Assessment Used? 

The word assessment is used in a variety of different contexts. One of the most common is in schools and educational programs. In the United States, student assessments are given every year to test student performance and student learning. 

Each student takes the same assessment, and the school district uses this information to determine curriculum changes, new learning outcomes, and even funding for schools. The students go through a reassessment process every year.

It’s also used in the wonderful world of taxes. An assessment for the purposes of taxation is the process of calculating the value of a piece of property or assets for tax purposes to find out how much it should be taxed.  

What Are Some Collocations for the Word Assessment?

A collocation is a series of words that are often found together that occur more often than simply by chance. Essentially, collocation is a habitual part of speech that many people utilize. 

Assessment is a very useful and fairly popular word, so it has some collocations associated with it. Here’s a list of some of the collocations for the word assessment. 

  • Tax assessment
  • Assessment tools
  • Act of assessing
  • Risk assessment
  • Self-assessment
  • Formative assessment

Where Did the Word Assessment Come From?

To help bring more clarity to the definition of assessment, let’s look at the history of how it came to be or its etymology.

Let’s start with the root word of assessment: the word assess. The word assesses like many English words in that it finds its roots in Latin. The oldest ancestor of this word is a combination of two important pieces of the Latin language. The Latin sedere, which means “to sit,” was combined with the Latin prefix ad-, which means “to.” 

These two parts were combined to make the Latin word assidere, which means “to sit by, or sit beside.” The past participle of assidere is the word assessus. This word was used to refer to the act of sitting by and supporting the office of a judge. 

One of this person’s jobs was to determine the exact amount of a fine or tax that the judge decided was necessary. 

The word evolved from Latin and took hold in France with the Old French assesser, which has the same definition. From Old French, the word found its way into Middle English in the form of the word assess. 

By the 1800s, the word started being used in regard to taxes, and in the 1930s, people started using the word to mean “to judge the value of something.” 

The suffix “-ment” is a common suffix when it comes to English words with a Latin root. It comes from the Latin mentum. It means “the result of.” So the word assessment literally means “the result of assessing.”  

What Are Some Examples of the Word Assessment in a Sentence?

Did you know?

Assessment has two meanings (“an amount that a person is officially required to pay” and “the act of making a judgment about something”) so distinct that one might rightfully wonder if they come from different sources. They do not.

Both are derived from related senses of assess, a verb that for over 500 years has meant “to determine the rate or amount of (a tax).” The monetary sense of assessment is tied to this oldest use of assess. By the 19th century, the verb’s object shifted slightly to produce a new meaning, “to make an official valuation of (property) for the purposes of taxation.” It was but a short step from here to the broadened sense “to make a judgment about” that is the basis of assessment “the act of making a judgment.”

Other forms: assessments

Assessment is a word you hear a lot around schools — an assessment is an evaluation, and one type of assessment is used to measure what someone knows or has learned. Tests and term papers can be assessment tools.

More than just students are given assessments. You might bring your dad’s plastic gnome collection to an expert for an assessment and find out it’s worth all of $15.35. You might make a quick assessment of a sticky situation — say it’s you, a tasty ham sandwich, and your hungry dog— and decide to run.
