Morphology

mismark = mark (semi-transparent) = mis + mark

Formally 'mis-' + 'mark' (wrong valuation) is clear, but the specific finance/accounting sense 'incorrect reported price' is domain-specific and may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Mismark combines mis- 'wrong' with mark 'price' or 'value', like when a shop 'marks' an item with a price. That's why a financial mismark is a 'wrong price' or wrong valuation that can change a company's reported numbers.
