-worthy. World English Historical Dictionary Dictionary Biographies Literary Criticism Welcome Terms of Service ⧏ Previous Next ⧐ Contents Slice Contents Key Bibliographic Record Murray’s New English Dictionary. 1928, rev. 2024. -worthy the adjective employed as a second element in a number of compounds, of which only a few have come into regular use, as blame-, note-, praise-, sea-worthy. The earliest instances, occurring in the 13th century, are later variants of forms in -wurthe (OE. -wyrðe), as dere-, luve-, stalworthi for earlier derewurthe, etc., = OE. déor- and stælwyrðe. Other OE. examples, as nytwyrðe, are not represented in ME., and there is app. no direct connection between OE. þancwyrðe and the late ME. thankworthy. Of new formations the 13th cent. affords deathworthy, the 14th blame- and thankworthy, and the 15th sale-worthy; the 16th adds faith-, hono(u)r-, praise-, note-, fault-, and name-worthy, and the 17th worship-, wonder-, scorn-, fame-, laugh-, and labo(u)r-worthy. The common sea-worthy is not recorded before 1807, and more recent formations from the 19th cent. include mark-, song-, battle-worthy, and irregularly from verb-stems, teach- and paint-worthy.
