Is "pervalue" an antonym of "devalue"?
+1
−0
Devalue is commonly used to mean diminish value.
Seems like the prefix re- is sometimes used with opposite effect to de-, as in reinforce meaning to increase force or refried meaning more fried.
However, revalue does not mean to increase value.
In this situation, sometimes per- is used to connote greater intensity. I could not find pervalue in a dictionary - but is it a "valid" word?
