väärtuslikkuse
Väärtuslikkuse, the genitive form of the Estonian noun väärtuslikkus, denotes the quality or property of being valuable or worthy. The term is used in everyday language as well as in more formal or scholarly contexts to refer to the attribute of something having value, desirability, or importance. Väärtuslikkus encompasses several senses, including intrinsic value (value by virtue of itself), instrumental value (usefulness as a means to an end), and moral or social value (ethical or communal significance). It is closely related to, but distinct from, väärtus (value) and values (väärtused) found in ethics and axiology.
In philosophy, väärtuslikkuse relates to axiology, the study of value across different domains such as morality,
The term is neutral and primarily descriptive; normative judgments about worth are expressed with evaluative language
