value (n.)

c. 1300, "price equal to the intrinsic worth of a thing;" from Old French value "worth, price, moral worth; standing, reputation" (13c.), noun use of fem. past participle of valoir "be worth," from Latin valere "be strong, be well; be of value, be worth" (from PIE root *wal- "to be strong").

It is attested by late 14c. as "useful properties; degree to which something is useful or estimable; non-material worth;" also "appreciation, regard, relative status or esteem of a thing."

In music, relative length or duration of a tone; in painting, relation of one part to another or the rest with regard to light and shade.

The meaning "social principle" is attested by 1915 in reference to sociology (see values). Value judgment (1889) is a loan-translation of German Werturteil (from Wert "value," cognate with worth, + Urteil "judgment," cognate with ordeal). 

also from c. 1300
