Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro Since late 16th century, borrowed from Middle French essay, essai (essay), meaning coined by Montaigne at the same time, from the same words with the earlier meanings 'experiment; assay; attempt', from Old French essay, essai, assay, assai, from Latin exagium (weight; weighing, testing on the balance), from exigere + -ium.
