Morphology
appreciate = ap + preci + ate
Although historically built from elements related to 'price', the components are not recognizable to average learners and the sense 'be thankful' is a metaphorical extension not derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Appreciate comes from Latin parts ad- and pretium 'price', and it shares the same root as the English word price. So to appreciate someone or something is to give them value or to be thankful for them.
