noteworthy
UK: ˈnəʊtˌwɜːði | US: ˈnoʊtˌwɜːrði
adj. deserving attention or notice; remarkable
adj. significant or interesting enough to be mentioned
The word "noteworthy" combines "note" (to observe or record) with "worthy" (deserving), creating a term that literally means "deserving to be noted." It emerged in the 16th century, reflecting the idea of something being sufficiently important or remarkable to warrant attention. The fusion of these morphemes mirrors the logical progression from observation to valuation.
