Holding in esteem
Valuing is the act of determining worth or holding something in esteem.
An appraiser valuing a house assesses its market price.
Someone valuing honesty considers it important: She's always valuing loyalty above all else.
The word carries both the calculating sense of appraisal and the emotional sense of appreciation.
