meritorious
의미: Deserving reward, praise, or recognition; showing great merit.
Meritorious is a formal word most often encountered in military, legal, and official contexts. 'Meritorious service' is the standard phrase in military honours and civil service awards. In law, a 'meritorious claim' is one that has genuine legal substance. The word implies that praise is objectively earned through quality or effort, not merely given as encouragement. It is more formal and specific than 'praiseworthy.'
