From Middle English interpreten, from Old French enterpreter, (French interpréter), from Latin interpretor(“to explain, expound, interpret”), past participle interpretatus, from interpres(“an agent, broker, explainer, interpreter, negotiator”), from inter(“between”) + -pres, probably the root of pretium(“price”); -pres is probably connected with Ancient Greek φράζειν(phrázein, “to point out, show, explain, declare, speak”), from which φραδή(phradḗ, “understanding”), φράσις(phrásis, “speech”); see phrase.
