estimable
Valuable, aestimatione dignus or dignandus: aestimandus.
Deserving esteem or regard, venerandus: venerabilis: honore dignus: observantia dignus: honestus: gravis: bonus: probus, etc. (good). A very estimable person, vir optimus existimatione omnium (of one universally considered so, Hor.); quovis honore dignus (Terentianus). So etimable aperson, homo ea existimatione: ☞ aestimabilis = “that is liable to be taxed;” aestimatio is PROP. “valuation” (e.g., frumenti, etc.), but from context in aestimatione dignus, aestimandus, etc., has the meaning of “value” when applied to things; e.g., of wisdom, health, Cic., Fin., 3, 13, 43, 44.
