Worthiness, value (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

merit

I believe this is a double definition.

'worthiness' is the first definition.
(merit is a kind of worthiness)

'value' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for merit that I've seen before include "Earn" , "distinction" , "Advantage" , "Have a right" , "The M in OM" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
