worthlyadj. Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: worth n.1, -ly suffix1. Etymology: < worth n.1 + -ly suffix1. Compare worth adj., worthy adj. Compare also worthily adj.Some earlier Old English forms (e.g. wyrðelic, wyrðlic) probably show the influence of wurthe adj.; compare discussion at worth adj., wurthe adj. The β. forms show loss of the dental after -r- in a consonant cluster; compare e.g. erli, erlich at earthly adj. and n. α. forms. Some forms with medial -e- could instead be interpreted as showing (much rarer) worthily adj. the mind > attention and judgement > importance > [adjective] > of high or great importance the mind > goodness and badness > quality of being good > worth > [adjective] eOE tr.
