Definition
To inform someone of something; to notify or make someone aware.
Etymology
From Old French 'aprendre' (to learn, teach), from Latin 'apprendere' (to grasp, seize). Originally meant to teach or inform, the meaning narrowed to specifically conveying information or news.
Kelly Says
The near-identical twins 'apprize' and 'apprise' split centuries ago—'apprise' kept the pure 'to inform' meaning while 'apprize' picked up the secondary 'to value' sense, making them sound the same but mean different things.
