Morphology
undervalued = undervalue (transparent) = under + value + ed
Formed by adding the participial suffix '-ed' to 'undervalue'; the meaning follows regular participle/adjective formation and the verb 'undervalue' is itself a transparent 'under-' + 'value' combination.
Etymology
The word undervalued comes from the parts under- meaning 'below' and value meaning 'worth'. So when a person, job, or work is undervalued, people think it is 'below' its true importance or worth.
