respect
/rɪˈspekt/·리스펙트·noun, verb
a feeling of admiration; to honour
LatinCEFR A2
Root
re- (again, back) + Latin 'spectare' (to look at)
Latin respicere/respectus (look back at) → Old French respect → Middle English respect
In a word
re- (again) + spect (look) = 'look once more'. The first glance just sees a person. The second sees what they've done. That second glance is what respect is. Etymologically, respect isn't a feeling — it's the act of looking again.
Examples
