Estemere

I was composing a correspondence to Brian Chesky to request the reinstatement of my five-star Superhost status following a 16-month suspension due to Hurricane Ian. In my search for a synonym for ‘esteemed,’ I found ‘regard’ to lack a certain elegance. Thus, I propose ‘estemere’—a blend of ‘esteem’ and ‘mere,’ signifying ‘pure’ or ‘unadulterated.’ This term exudes a sense of luxury and could be employed to denote something that is highly esteemed and embodies the highest standard of excellence.

We are writing to invite you to the estemere property, The Tugboat Tropical Resort.
