Morphology

revalorization = valorization (opaque) = re + valor + ize + ation

Adding re- to valorization is structurally clear, but valorization is itself a specialized Latinate term, so the full meaning is not easy for an average learner to infer.

Etymology

Revalorization combines re- 'again' and valor 'value', like the English word value. So revalorization is about 'making value again', which is why it can mean officially raising the worth of money, assets, or salaries.
