Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'αξία' meaning 'value' derives from Ancient Greek 'ἀξία' (axía), which also means 'value' or 'worth'. This term is related to the adjective 'ἄξιος' (áxios), meaning 'worthy' or 'deserving'. The concept of worthiness or value has been retained throughout its historical usage.
