Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Postdevaluation → It is formed from "post-" (meaning after) and "devaluation" (from Latin "de-" meaning down and "valere" meaning to be strong or worth). The term refers to the period or state that occurs after a reduction in the value of currency or assets.

Memory Tip

Think of 'post-' meaning after, and 'devaluation' referring to a decrease in worth — so postdevaluation means the time after a decrease in value.
