  "textContent": "The word for today is…\n\nvaluable (adjective, noun) -\n\n_adjective_\n1a: having monetary value\nb: worth a good price\n2a: having desirable or esteemed characteristics or qualities\nb: of great use or service\n\n _noun_\n: a usually personal possession (such as jewelry) of relatively great monetary value — usually used in plural\n\nSource : Merriam-Webster\n\nEtymology : Many people find it confusing that the in- prefix at the beginning of invaluable apparently lacks the meaning \"not\" found in a number of other words, such as invalid, inarticulate, and insane. In fact, the prefix does indicate negation, but in a way that is not immediately obvious. The original (and current) meaning of invaluable is \"valuable beyond estimation\"; the word describes something so precious that one cannot assign a price to it. This, clearly, is the opposite of the meaning \"having no value; valueless\" that the word might seem to carry. Invaluable actually has been recorded in the sense \"without value,\" but such use has been exceedingly rare and is practically nonexistent today.\n\n**_If you enjoyed this Good Oil word of the day please consider sharing it with your friends and, especially, your children._**",
