Enworthed

/ɪnˈwɜːðəd/ verb

Definition

past tense of enworth; to make worthy or valuable.

Etymology

Past tense of 'enworth' (en- + worth), though this appears primarily in historical or archaic texts. Shows the productive use of 'en-' to create verbs meaning 'to make or become.'

Kelly Says

This ultra-rare word shows medieval English trying to verbify value itself—'enworthed' meant not just becoming valuable but being transformed into something worthy through some process or achievement.
