Just a bit of fun, but useful nonetheless…
Etymology:
c.1300, from O.Fr. value “worth, value” (13c.), noun use of fem. pp. of valoir “be worth,” from L. valere “be strong, be well, be of value”. The meaning “social principle” is attested from 1918, supposedly borrowed from the language of painting. The verb is recorded from late 15c. Related: Valued, valuing. Value judgment (1892) is a loan-translation of Ger. Werturteil.
