Origin

Mid 16th century (denoting a tidal inlet of any size): from Latin aestuarium 'tidal part of a shore', from aestus 'tide'.

This was originally a tidal inlet of any size. The source is Latin aestuarium ‘tidal part of a shore’ from aestus ‘tide’. The term Estuary English was coined by David Rosewarne in 1984 for an accent which developed along the Thames Estuary from London English and which has rapidly become the dominant urban accent in southern England.
