bemerkwertlich

Bemerkwertlich is a German adjective (and, in some older texts, an adverb) meaning "worthy of being noticed" or "noteworthy." It describes something that deserves attention or mention. In contemporary standard German, the form is rare, and bemerkenswert is the widely used equivalent.

Etymology and form: The word appears to be a compound built from merken (to notice) and a suffix related to -wertlich, aligning with the sense of "worthy." The more common bemerkenswert literally translates to "worthy of notice" and is derived from merken + wert, with the prefix be-.

Usage and status: Bemerkwertlich is not commonly attested in modern dictionaries and is generally regarded as nonstandard, archaic, or regionally conditioned. When it occurs, it may reflect a stylistic choice, a historical usage, or a typographical variant. For formal writing, bemerkenswert or, if the emphasis is on mentioning something, erwähnenswert, are normally preferred.
