Root Breakdown
Root-derivedFrom Latin rata (pars) ('a reckoned/fixed part'), from ratus ('reckoned'). A rate is a calculated, fixed measure — so much per unit: a speed (rate of travel), a price (interest rate), a frequency (birth rate). The verb 'to rate' is to reckon something's value: rate a film five stars.
