"Well-deserved" is an English equivalent of the Latin phrase bene meritus.

Specifically, the adverb bene means "well." The masculine singular adjective meritus translates as "deserved." The pronunciation will be "BEH-ney MEH-rih-tuhss" in classical Latin and "BEH-ney MEH-ree-tooss" in liturgical Latin.
