1、val- "be worth, be of value" + -ue.

value 價(jià)值

來(lái)自PIE*wal,強(qiáng)健的，勇敢的，引申詞義有價(jià)值的，詞源同valor,valiant,wield.

value: value: [14] To have value is etymologically to be ‘strong’ or ‘effective’, and hence to have ‘worth’. The word was borrowed from Old French value, a noun use of the feminine past participle of valoir ‘be worth’. This was descended from Latin valēre ‘be strong, be of value’, which also produced English avail [13], available [15] (which originally meant ‘a(chǎn)dvantageous’, and was not used for ‘a(chǎn)ccessible for use’ until as recently as the 19th century), convalesce [15], valency [19], valiant [14], valid, and valour [14].
=> available, convalesce, valency, valiant, valid, valour
value (n.): c. 1300, "price equal to the intrinsic worth of a thing;" late 14c., "degree to which something is useful or estimable," from Old French value "worth, price, moral worth; standing, reputation" (13c.), noun use of fem. past participle of valoir "be worth," from Latin valere "be strong, be well; be of value, be worth" (see valiant). The meaning "social principle" is attested from 1918, supposedly borrowed from the language of painting. Value judgment (1889) is a loan-translation of German Werturteil.
value (v.): mid-15c., "estimate the value of," also "think highly of," probably from value (n.). Related: Valued, valuing.
