Worthy of help or assistance; deserving aid; having qualities that make one a suitable recipient of help.
From 'help' combined with the suffix '-worthy' (Old English 'weorðe,' deserving or valuable), as in 'noteworthy' or 'newsworthy.' This is a rare or nonce formation.
Creating adjectives with '-worthy' is still productive in English—'Instagram-worthy' and 'award-worthy' show how the suffix adapts to modern needs, though 'helpworthy' itself never caught on widely.
