Wiktionary英語版

worth

出典:『Wiktionary』 (2013/04/16 14:26 UTC 版)

発音

• (RP): IPA: /wɜːθ/
• (米国発音): IPA: /wɜrθ/
• 韻: -ɜː(ɹ)θ, -ɜ(ɹ)θ

語源 1

From worth or wurth, from 古期英語 weorþ, from Proto-Germanic *werþaz (“towards, opposite”) (the noun developing from the adjective). Cognate with German wert/Wert, Dutch waard (“adjective”), Swedish värd.

形容詞

worth (comparative more worth, superlative most worth)

1. Having a value of; proper to be exchanged for.

   My house now is worth double what I paid for it.

   Cleanliness is the virtue most worth having but one.

2. Deserving of.

   I think you’ll find my proposal worth your attention.

   • 2012 May 9, Jonathan Wilson, “Europa League: Radamel Falcao's Atlético Madrid rout Athletic Bilbao”, the Guardian:

     Two years after their first European trophy, Atlético were well worth their second.

3. (obsolete, except in Scots) Valuable, worth while.
4. Making a fair equivalent of, repaying or compensating.

   This job is hardly worth the effort.

使用する際の注意点

The modern adjectival senses of worth compare two noun phrases, prompting some sources to classify the word as a preposition. Most, however, list it an adjective, some with notes like "governing a noun with prepositional force." Fowler's Modern English Usage says, "the adjective worth requires what is most easily described as an object."

Joan Maling (1983) shows that worth is best analysed as a preposition rather than an adjective. CGEL (2002) analyzes it as an adjective.

語源 2

     For, adds our erudite Friend, the Saxon weorthan equivalent to the German werden, means to grow, to become; traces of which old vocable are still found in the North-country dialects, as, ‘What is word of him?’ meaning ‘What is become of him?’ and the like. Nay we in modern English still say, ‘Woe worth the hour.’ [i.e. Woe befall the hour]]
