Root Explanation

Transvaluation → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across or beyond) and "valere" (meaning to be strong or to be worth). The word refers to the act of changing or shifting values across a spectrum, often in a philosophical or economic context.

Memory Tip

Think of values being shifted 'across' ('trans-') to represent something 'worth' ('valere') differently — that's what transvaluation means.
