Word origin
The word 'underappreciate' is a combination of 'under' and 'appreciate', with 'appreciate' coming from the Latin word 'appretiare', meaning 'to set a price on, value'. The concept of underappreciation has been present throughout history, as people have often failed to fully recognize the contributions or worth of others.
