deservingness

/dɪˈzɝvɪŋnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being deserving.

Word Origin Deserve comes from Latin de- 'completely' and servire 'to serve' — originally meaning 'to serve zealously'. Over time, it shifted to 'be worthy of' because serving well earns reward. Deservingness is the quality of being worthy. The root servus 'slave' gives us servant, service, and even preserve (to keep safe, originally 'to guard beforehand').
