Morphology
undervaluation = undervalue (transparent) = under + value + ation
The noun is formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ation' to the verb 'undervalue' (under- + value), a straightforward derivation.
Etymology
Undervaluation breaks into under- ('below') and value ('worth'), with -ation meaning 'the act of'. So, like when you underestimate something, an undervaluation is giving it a lower price or worth than it really has.
