Inherited fromMiddle Frenchest, fromOld Frenchest, fromLatinest, fromProto-Indo-European*h₁ésti. Next toJésus-Christ, it is the only word in which silent internals remains in modern French spelling. The expected formêt existed, but did not establish itself, in contrast toêtre andêtes. Possible reasons are the sheer frequency ofest, its exact agreement with the Latin form, and the fact that it was usually unstressed and thus shortened.
