Root Explanation
Revalorizing → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "valor" (from Latin "valor", meaning worth or value) and "-izing" (a suffix used to form verbs indicating a process). The word "revalorizing" means the process of assigning worth or value again.
Memory Tip
Think of 're-' meaning again and 'valor' meaning worth — so revalorizing is about giving worth again.
