repute может использоваться в качестве глагола - (usually passive) to consider (a person or thing) to be as specified he is reputed to be intelligent а вообще в происхождении repute - from Old French reputer, from Latin reputāre to think over , from RE- + putāre to think reputation - from Latin reputātiō a reckoning, from reputāre to calculate , meditate ; 'Reputation' is possibly the most used word to describe 'name' in the sense of what people think of someone/something and of course it can be good as well as bad. 'Repute' is more formal in its use and has more a suggestion of the abstract since it doesn't specify what that 'name' or 'regard' is. It occurs in expressions like: 'A company of international repute' 'a house of ill repute' is a rather formal way of describing a brothel. 'Of repute' on its own indicates having a high reputation |
