I found this old painting in my attic, but it seems so unvalued.

Really? It could be a hidden gem!

Root Explanation

Unvalued → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "valued" (from Latin "valere", meaning to be strong or to be worth). The word "unvalued" means not considered to have worth or value.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'worth' ('valued') — that's why unvalued means something that is considered to have no worth.
