Word Origin From Old English rād 'road' (originally 'riding, journey') and weorþ 'worth' — roadworthiness means being fit for the road. The word road is related to ride and raid (a riding attack). Worth comes from PIE *wert- 'to turn, value,' also giving us worthy and worthwhile. The -y and -ness suffixes build the abstract noun.
