An archaic or obsolete verb meaning to weigh or consider, possibly influenced by 'append' but from different Latin roots.
Potentially from Latin 'appensare' (to weigh to), though etymology is uncertain; this rare verb appears in early English texts with unclear lineage.
This word is so obscure that even scholars debate whether it truly existed as a standalone word or was a scribal mistake that got copied into old dictionaries!
