overvaluation

/ˌoʊvɝˌvæɫjuˈeɪʃən/ noun

An instance of overvaluing.

Word Origin From Latin valere 'to be strong, be worth' — the root of value, valid, valor. Over- (from Old English ofer) adds 'too much.' Valuation is the act of assessing worth, so overvaluation is assessing something as worth more than it really is. The root valere gives us equivalent (equal worth), prevail (to be stronger), and ambivalent (having both strengths). So overvaluation is literally 'over-valuing.'
