worth

worth
Monetary value. Importance. Merit. "Few philologists get on juries. We believe that only a philologist would appreciate the difference between the word compensation and the word price or worth as used in instructions to be considered by juries in assessing damages." Herb v Hallowell, 304 Pa 128, 154 A 582, 85 ALR 1004.
