Morphology

transvalue = transvalue (semi-transparent) = trans + value

The noun is a straightforward zero-derived nominal use of the verb 'transvalue'.

Etymology

Transvalue joins the parts trans- 'across' or 'change' and value 'worth', so it names the act or result of giving something a new worth or meaning. That's why a transvalue can mean both the process of changing how we value something and the new value it gets.
