Definition
Worthy of all respect or admiration; completely praiseworthy; a surname also used as an adjective in literature.
Etymology
Compound of 'all' and 'worthy,' meaning completely or thoroughly worthy. This word is famous as a surname in Henry Fielding's novel 'Tom Jones' (1749), where Squire Allworthy represents perfect respectability.
Kelly Says
In 'Tom Jones,' Fielding chose this name brilliantly—the kind Squire Allworthy is literally 'worthy of all' admiration, but the irony is that his virtue is tested constantly, making the name both sincere and slightly satirical!
