Word for deserving something

constructiontranslationword-request

Italian has a word called «merito», which describes the state which a person may attain in reaching a state of deserving something. Unfortunately, bilingual dictionaries tend to do a poor job of translating this word into English. I was wondering if it is possible, in English, to use a word such as «deservance». I would say yes.

So, in general, can I use any verb, such as «deserve», and attach the suffix «ance», to create a word describing the quality of possessing the state attained by means of using such verb?

For instance, I may construct a sentence such as, «Rewards will be granted according to each person’s respective deservance of such rewards.»

Thanks.
