Etymology of GUERDONABLE

The word "guerdonable" is derived from the Middle English term "guerdoun" which came from the Old French "guerdon" meaning "reward" or "payment". This Old French term was derived from the Late Latin "wardonium" which referred to a reward or recompense. Ultimately, the word originates from the Latin "vērtere" meaning "to turn" or "to return", which developed into "wardonare" meaning "to watch over" or "to guard". Over time, the meaning of this word shifted to include the notion of rewarding or compensating someone for their actions, which is the essence of "guerdonable".
