Appraises, assesses (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

values

I believe this is a double definition.

'appraises' is the first definition.
(valuing is a kind of appraising)

'assesses' is the second definition.
(valuing is a kind of assessing)

(Other definitions for values that I've seen before include "Principles or standards of behaviour" , "Prizes, holds in high esteem" , "Appraises, assesses" , "Considers to be of great worth or importance" , "Moral principles, standards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
