"Wert" meaning in German

See Wert in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /veːrt/, [veːɐ̯t], [vɛɐ̯t], [ʋ-] Audio: De-Wert.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German wert, from Old High German werd, from Proto-Germanic *werþaz. Compare Dutch waard, English worth, Swedish värd. The -t is generalised from the uninflected form, likely reinforced by the desire to distinguish from forms of werden (compare werten). The regular -d- remains in Würde, würdig.
