Word origin

The word 'underrated' originated in the mid-19th century, combining the prefix 'under-' meaning 'less than' or 'below' with 'rate' meaning 'to estimate the value or worth of something'. The term gained popularity in modern usage to describe something that is not given the recognition or praise it truly deserves, highlighting the disparity between actual value and perceived value.
