mid 19th century: from German, probably from a blend of Essig ‘vinegar’ and Äther ‘ether’.
wiktionary
From German Ester, perhaps a contraction or abstraction of Essigäther(“ ethyl acetate”), from Essig(“vinegar”) (from Latin acetum) and Äther(“ether”). See ether for more.
etymonline
ester (n.)
compound formed by an acid joined to an alcohol, 1852, coined in German in 1848 by German chemist Leopold Gmelin (1788-1853), professor at Heidelberg. The name is "apparently a pure invention" [Flood], perhaps a contraction of or abstraction from Essigäther, the German name for ethyl acetate, from Essig "vinegar" + Äther "ether" (see ether). Essig is from Old High German ezzih, from a metathesis of Latin acetum (see vinegar).
