Etymology

The term 'worthing' likely derives from the Old English word 'weorth', which means value or worth. This root is connected to various Germanic languages, where similar terms denote the concept of importance or value. Over centuries, the use of the word has evolved, blending into modern contexts that encompass not only financial valuations but also moral and social implications of worth. Establishing worth has been fundamental in economic theories and ethical discussions, reflecting humanity's continuous negotiation around value in various forms. The geographic location ‘Worthing’ in England, known for its historical significance as a fishing village and later a popular seaside resort, further embeds the idea of valuation within community identity and local economy.
