Morphology
valorization = valorize (semi-transparent) = valor + ation
Derived from 'valorize' but the sense has shifted metaphorically to praising or honoring, so the relation to 'give value' is inferable but not fully literal.
Etymology
Valorization comes from the root valor, which means 'value' and is like the English word value. So in everyday use it can mean praising or honoring someone by making their work or role seem more 'valuable'.
