Morphology

misvalue = misvalue (transparent) = mis + value

The noun sense is a straightforward conversion from the verb 'misvalue', which itself is transparently built from 'mis-' + 'value'.

Etymology

Misvalue comes from the parts mis- meaning 'wrong' and value meaning 'worth'. So a misvalue is a 'wrong value' — an incorrect price or estimate.
