Etymology
**Etymology**
The adjective *val* comes from Old French *val*, borrowed from Latin *valere* “to be strong, be worth”. The same root produced the verb *valoir* (“to be worth”) and, in medieval French, *val* was used to mean “valuable, of worth”. Over time the word fell out of regular use, surviving mainly as an archaic or specialized form.
