An archaic or legal term for an assessment or valuation; the act of apprizing or determining worth.
From apprize + '-ment' (noun-forming suffix indicating result or process). This term is largely historical, appearing in older legal and commercial documents.
In medieval and early modern commerce, 'apprisement' was crucial—merchants needed official valuations to establish worth before buying and selling goods across regions with different currencies.
